Answer:

Yes, you can take about 2 Tylenol PM's and however much hydrcodone your doctor is giving you. The only thing is that if you are thinking about going on Tylenol PM long-term you might want to talk to your doctor about that. And always remember to follow the dosage directions on the Tylenol PM box.


With all due respect, let's consider some prior postings, and use greater precision when offering lay advice in a forum such as this, especially when the person submitting an answer claims more than lay credentials.

From the phrasing of the question, and prior postings on this site, my assumption is that the question is unclear as it actually needs to be understood in terms of the chemical and its/their dosage(s) involved.

100% hydrodocone is not actually what is in the M357 [Mallinkrot Pharma's 5-500] or M-360 [their 7.5-750]. Practically any hydrocodone pill, as noted in many postings, contains 100x as much acetaminophen as hydrocodone. Oxycodone is one of the forms that lacks acetaminophen.

So does the question refer to someone taking a generic Vicodin [hydrocodone + acetaminophen] or 100% hydrocodone? It seems to me that this should be clarified, before posting the answer.

The significance of this clarification should not be overlooked, as I recently discovered that there are emergency room MDs who write prescriptions for hydrocodone, although their written narrative specifically states that "the patient should avoid the acetaminophen part" (!) A pharmacist can only fill the prescription as written and does not have access to the other paperwork that documents a patient-doctor visit.

The 4 gram (4,000 mg) daily acetaminophen limit can easily be exceeded if someone takes generic Vicodin with the Tylenol sleep aid (or its generic forms) containing acetaminophen.

Well HydroCodone consist of Tylenol.

The first number u see usually 5 or 10 mg would be the amount of codine (which metabolizes as morphine once ingested). The second number would be the amount of Tylenol. So if you take one 5/500 pill , it would be safe to say u can take another tynonel with it. Because your dose would be 1000 mg which is the highest dose your soposted to take at one time. I would wait 4 hours before taking again. Because 2000 mg is considered a OVERDOSE.

Hope this helps someone.

Codeines addicting, and causes horrible withdraw symptoms.

Hydrocodone/acetaminophen contains acetaminophen (Tylenol). Regular Hydrocodone does not. Please learn the difference before telling people this.

Vicodin, a brand name hydrocodone formulation, contains Tylenol so yes, you can take the two together, although you should make sure your hydrocodone pills do not have any Tylenol in them, as you do not want to go too high with the Tylenol doses.

No. I am not a doctor, just a knowledgable individual. That being said, depending on the dosages of both medicines, you could have the best nights sleep of you life. Also the last nights sleep. You may never wake up. If that's what you're into, go right ahead. If not, just take more oxycodone. Either way, have a nice night :)

Can you take Zyrtec and Tylenol PM together?

Because they both contain antihistamines, they will cause a reaction. Tylenol PM has the same antihistamine as Benadryl and it is not recommended that you take Zyrtec and Benadryl at the same time. Contact you doctor to verify if you can take your Zyertec in the morning (as usually prescribed) and the Tylenol in the evening. Zertec is a long acting antihistamine and should be out of your system before you go to bed. The Tylenol PM is a short acting antihistamine and would be out your system before your morning dosage.

Can you take Tylenol pm after surgery?

Both my PA and a pharmacist confirmed that you CAN take Tylenol pm after surgery as a sleep aid, as long as its worked in as part of your regular Tylenol dosage. ie...I can take 2 500mg ES Tylenol for pain management 4 times in a 24 hour period. I will be replacing one of those doses with 2 500mg ES Tylenol PM. Don't exceed your maximum dosage of ANY Tylenol product prescribed by your doctor/surgeon. (This answer is for reference only an is based only on MY doctors information)
