Tylenol PM, Excedrin PM, Unisol, and all the OTC sleep meds are all the same thing. The ingredient in all of them in an anti-histamine called Diphenhydramine hydrochloride. This is an anti-histamine that has sedating properties. This will certainly dry you out if you have a cold.
Jessica, I would highly reccomend against taking this more than once or twice a month. Thhis is an anti-histamine which means it blocks your own body from making histamine which is produced when there is inflammation, itchiness.
Ultimately, this will supress your own body from any allergic reactions. By drying you out this will cause dry mouth, nose, throat, lips, urinary retention, possibility of more frequent bladder infections,, thickening of bronchial secretions, visual disturbances, hearing distrubances.
Also hyersenstivity reaction which would produce eczema, pruritus, rash.
Possible cardiac disturbances, hypotension.
Be careful Jessica, this really can cause an imblance of the flow of your natural bodies immune system.
For example, if you get stung by a bee, and your taking Tylenol PM every day, instead of getting swelling, and allowing your body to detoxify and destory the poison, your bodies alarm clock may be altered in some way and delay this reaction, which could make a common bee sting far more dangerous than it needs to be.
Meds, herbs, vitamins, etc. should all be cycled.
Imagine if you ate pizza every day.
Also not to mention taking Tylenol is quite hard on your liver and kidney.
I think you need a major detox.
Try Danelion-Milk Thistle for good old-fashioned Liver detox. This will rid your Liver of toxic metals, chemicals, drugs, etc.
Be good to your Qi and Shen,
Dustin
