maximum tylenol dosage in a 24 hour period is 4000mg for people who use is occasionally. People who take daily medications with tylenol should limit their dose to 2000mg per day.

Yes, you will be fine. The recommended time is 4-6 hours for extra strength Tylenol so no problem. Don't go over 8 in a 24 hour period. If you are using regular strength, you could probably take a little more.
Next time, if you are concerned and really need the relief, take a different type of pain reliever 3-4 hours before bedtime and then finish off with the Tylenol pm right before bed. A different type would be aspirin (if you can take it), alleve, or Advil. They all use something different than acetaminophen.
Happy Dreams!

yes you will be fine. tylenol is dosed ( supposed to be taken) every 4 to 6 hours. the maxium amount per day is 4000mg. so as long as you don't exceed this amount per day, you'll be fine. if you just need help sleeping, you can try just plain bendaryl. it's the ingredient inside of the tylenol pm that actually makes you sleepy.

Take as per recommendations. Concern is with Paracetomol overdose. You can deadly OD on 15 a day.

Sure, should be fine. Especially if they weren't extra strength.
