Insomnia, Tylenol PM and meds

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Dec 02 2009

Q: Since the doctors put me on HBP medication I have had Insomnia which has continued to get worse. This insomnia causes depression which sometimes leads to suicide thoughts. I have tried everything which works sometimes. Recently I began taking 2 Tylenol PM with my herbs. Will Tylenol PM interact with my blood pressure medicine Diltiazem and Beta Blocker?

A: Although interaction with Tylenol PM is not a problem with your blood pressure drugs, you also mention taking herbs. Your herbs certainly could be interacting with your blood pressure medicines. Alert your doctor to your supplements. Also, you should discuss both your insomnia and depression. Tylenol PM was not meant to be taken every night.
