Anybody use Tylenol P.M. at night for sleep problems and how often?? Also is it safe enough to interact with Plaquinel/MTHX???? I don't plan on using it on a regular basis but I am told it helps. Thanks GillianMy mom uses it pretty regularly. I have a prescription from my Rheumatologist for a sleeping pill (which I rarely take) but it seems to be safe.
My dr. told me it is okay to take and you can see my meds below. Don't know about with mtx though.

I take melatonin, it's a natural sleep aid. It's actually what your body produces to fall asleep. I swear by it, and I'm not really one of those "au natural" people. LoL The only things you have to make sure, is that you get in a dark place and TRY to sleep within 30-45 minutes of taking it, and watch out for nightmares. Apparently, with some people, this is a problem. I've never experienced anything myself, but I still warn everyone!I have been using Ambien for months. I have never slept well but always suffered from fatigue and insomnia. I told the RD when he asked what meds I take and he did not tell me I had to stop. Now you are making me wonderThere's another post here today that and her liver test were elevated likely due to the tylenol & MTX combined. Might be something to discuss with your doctor. I've never had a problem.....but better safe than sorry; right?
With RA sleep can be a problem. My doctors have always encouraged me to take something so I could get a good nights rest. Your days will be better if you get proper rest.
I don't take mtx. However, I usually take either a sonata or tylonel pm every night. Without them I either can't fall asleep because of the pain or it wakes me up in the night and I can't go back to sleep. My Rheumatologist prescribed the sonata and suggested the tylonel pm occasionally during the week to mix it up.
