Is it okay to take tylenol (acetaminophen) pm with methadone for insomnia?

Might: Most of over the counter sleeping pills are antihistamines. I feel that prescription sleeping pills are much safer, especially for people much older than you.

Insomnia: Antihistamine based otc sleeping medications can lead to rebound insomnia. Please talk w the dr that prescribes you methadone. In the meantime, use excellent sleep hygiene. 1. Keep a regular bedtime & wakening time (to include weekends). Get up the same time each day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime may.
