I have been taking this for over 6 years and can't sleep without taking it. I use to only take one but now I need two. I use to also take a half hour before bed and now its taking up to two hours to work. Once I go to sleep , I'm out for the night. Wish I can stop taking everynight but I need sleep.

This medication made me do things that I didn't even know I was doing. I will not take again and I have thrown it away. I got less sleep than usual because it made me roam around and do odd things. Beware when taking this. A coworker had same experience

I took this drug to reduce pain after a complete knee replacement. I cannot tolerate opioids so this seemed to be the only option. I experienced inability to sleep, loss of appetite, confusion, extreme tiredness, agitation, dark urine, constipation and severe dry mouth. Consulting with my surgeon and surgical nurse I was repeatedly assured that the cause could not be the Extra Strength Tylenol as they had never heard these reactions from other patients. Yet when I consulted WebMD my symptoms had clearly been experienced by other patients.Read More Read Less

I buy the WalMart copycat Tylenol PM caplet. The caplet has 25mg of Benadryl. To relax and sleep well I break a caplet into half and take half a "tylenol pm." I sleep soundly without being groggy. If my mind is really "wound up" in anticipation of a meeting, etc...the next morning, I will take the entire caplet. If I don't set an alarm clock, I can sleep between 7-9 hours without waking up. With an alarm, I get up, walk around, and 3-10 later--depending on the dosage, I am totally alert to operate machinery or make important decisions. I am not a daily user of Tylenol PM, but do use the half caplet dose frequently when I need to do so. I told my doctor about this Tylenol usage. (I once had a very bad case of poison ivy and it took 3 caplets to ease me off to sleep. The dermatologist told me to take Zytec during the day, and Tylenol PM at night.)Read More Read Less

I TOOK THIS MEDICATION AND WAS UP ALL NIGHT LONG BECAUSE IT MADE ME ITCH. THE PHARMACIST THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS ALLERGIC TO THE DYE IN THE MEDICATION. I TAKE REGULAR TYLENOL ALL THE TIME WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECTS.
