Some years ago, I was having trouble with insomnia. Doc prescribed Xanax, which was exactly the wrong thing to do. The stuff scared me so much that I only took it for a couple days before disposing of it.
Dunno if you've ever had anything like that, but you just don't.....care. Your pants are on fire? Meh. Whatever. I'm really not sure how to describe it, let alone function on it.
So....I self-prescibed Tylenol PM before bed. Problem resolved itself in short order. Suppose that I should have done that to begin with.
Is there a need for heavy duty meds like what we're talking about? Sure. But the demand, and the realistic need, are two completely different things.
Tylenol is rough on the liver. The "PM" ingredient in Tylenol PM is Diphenhydramine HCl, the active ingredient in Sominex and Benadryl. Unless you have a headache, you might want to pick up some Diphenhydramine HCl allergy tablets and use that by itself. Just sayin'.

FYI: in Arizona, if you are caught driving with any drowsiness-inducing substance such as Benadryl or Tylenol PM in you system you will be imprisoned for no less than a MANDATORY 18 months.
