Specializes in General Practice

Tylenol (acetaminophen) not for long: Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be very toxic to your liver. There is no reason to take tylenol (acetaminophen) for sleep. The "pm" part of this is benadryl. This anti-histamine can be very sedating. It would be much safer to not use any product with tylenol (acetaminophen) in it for very long.
