Best Answer

I have been taking doxylamine succinate daily for a sleep problem. I was told that it is a safe and effective OTC medication. My recent labs revealed impaired renal function. Prior to taking this medication, my labs were normal. I don't drink alcohol, but I have gained 25lbs since I started taking this medication. I'm about 30lbs overweight. I believe that this medication may be safe for occasional or short term use, but not long term. I feel that my HTN, elevated liver functions, and renal problems are directly related to Nyquil, and Simply Sleep use.

Is it safe to take 25 mg. of doxylamine succinate and 440 mg of acetaminophen?

I've worked in pharmacy for awhile. There is no know interaction between the too. However to be on the safe side do not take anymore than 25mg of Doxylamine Succinate and take a regular does of ibuprofen NOTHING with added codeine in it! As one is an anti-inflamatory and the other is a calmative it MAY slightly increase the "hungover" feeling the next day. Personally I find a bit of caffeine helps make that go away but it depends on the individual!

I highly doubt it, I smoke a whole lot of weed and I've taken sleep aid's before (cheap one's from rite-aid that are not good for you) and they are not related at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's no drug tests for doxylamine succinate, it's a cheap sleep-aid
