"Initially started taking Tylenol PM for ongoing knee and foot pain (I’m a dancer) 6 months ago. Very quickly became a nightly ritual to take one (occasionally 2) and fall asleep within 20 mins and stay asleep for 8+ hrs. The downside - blurred vision (especially in the morning), troubling memory loss (my kids were growing concerned about me not remembering conversations), anxiety and depression (bursting into tears frequently and for no reason). I went ‘cold turkey’ 6 days ago and am already starting to feel better after a couple of sleepless nights. I will NEVER touch this stuff again. It’s easy to see how this drug has been linked to dementia. Please don’t be tempted to use it."

"I usually take Aleve PM for my bruised rib. My friend, a former nurse, said to use Tylenol PM so you don't get stomach bleeding. So I brought some last night. OMG, I was scratching all night, and in the morning, I felt very dizzy and disoriented. Don't know why I reacted that way, but I will never take it again. Thank you, God, that I didn't fall."

"Great. Take 30 minutes before bed, and it treats both pain and mild restlessness."

"I was very surprised when I took this medicine. I took it at 9 pm, and by 9:30, I was in bed sleeping. It's a high-power pill, and I rested all night. It's a good pill besides the fact that I woke up the next morning and barely could get up and get dressed for work because I was still sleepy from the pill. It finally wore off at about 10 am. It helped me a lot. I was told by a friend to take it for pain, and I'm glad I got it."
