I have never posted on this forum, but your post really frightened me. I have struggled with insomnia for much of my adult life, and I have used prescription and over-the-counter medications.Tylenol PM is Tylenol with Bendryl in it. Taking large amounts of Benedryl is not a good idea, either, but at the least you MUST stop taking that much Tylenol. PLEASE see a doctor; not only can they determine what damage, if any, the Tylenol has caused, but perhaps they could give you a prescription medication such as Trazadone, which is actually an anti-depressant but is used for sleep...I have used it in the past and I did not find it to be habit-forming.

Take care and good luck - God bless!

I agree with little bit's reply. You have to stop now.  You can call NA and find local people to take to about this.  But you need to get to a doctor and get a blood test to see how your liver is functioning. Your back pain could be from your kidneys.  I don't know about the wheezing, but at that quantities Tylenol PM might supress breathing. There are safe things your doctor can prescribe for you to go to sleep for a LITTLE while if your afraid younwon't be able to sleep once your off the PM's

Acetaminophen causes three times as many cases of liver failure as all other drugs combined, and is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States, accounting for 39% of cases. You need to see a doctor immediately, hon.  You are killing yourself with that stuff.  

The first signs of an acetaminophen overdose include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, and confusion or weakness. Later symptoms may include pain in your upper stomach, dark urine, and yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.

PLEASE GET HELP!
