tylenol pm

edited February 2011 in Health
Okay not getting any sleep is starting to piss me off! The only sleep aid I have is tylenol pm. I haven't taken it since I've been pregnant because my mom doesn't think its safe. Does anyone know if it is or isn't for sure?

  • Same thing I want to know. I hardly sleep and im always tired..
  • My doc said I could have extra strength tylenol, but idk about pm. I think thats a call your doc should make. Its one of those things that might depend on your pregnancy and your doc
  • My Dr says its fine as long as its a tylenol product. I take it to help me rest and my Dr is perfectly fine with it!
  • I heard extra strength too but would that put me to sleep?
  • Probably not, and tylenol is really rough on your liver so you shouldn't take it in excess.
  • I asked my doctor this exact question. She said it's safe every now and then but you don't want to take tylenol pm everyday. I also have issues with sleeping while I have been prego :)
  • Ugh! I'm so frustrated. I am going to call my doctor here in a bit. I haven't been to sleep yet :(
  • I have been nervous about meds since the beginning. I was told tylonol products are okay because its still aceteminophen as well as benedryl (dephenhydramine) to be used for insomnia but I have used it once just because..like I said..it makes me nervous
  • Have you tried any homeopathic remedies? There are a lot of foods and drinks that are supposed to help people sleep. Or exercise a few hours before bed, that might help. I don't know if the otger stuff works, but it might be worth a shot. I fall asleep fine but I wake up constantly, like every half hour or so. It's annoying.
  • Lol im so nervous about taking amything so i just suffer through
  • yep my doctor told me i could take tylonel pm
  • If you want to avoid exra tylenol (you have no pain) u can take benedryl. Perfectly safe.
