A member asked:
I've been taking tylenol (acetaminophen) pm to help me sleep. when should i stop taking it? is it habit forming? (there is a history of addiction in my family)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typical.: Tylenol PM contains acetaminophen and diphenhydramine, the antiallergic part, which is utilized as a sleep producing substance, but should not be used in a prolonged fashion due to potential nephrotoxic risk, not to mention acetaminophen being known for liver failure if used in large amounts
