Can Aventyl And Tylenol Nighttime Be Taken Together?

I am taking aventyl 10 mg at hs for nerve pain post knee replacement. I fall asleep quickly but only sleep for maybe 2 hrs. Then I wake up because I have to change my position and have great difficulty getting back to sleep for any decent length of time. I have heard and read good things about Tylenol Nightime. Is it safe to take Aventyl with the Tylenol Nightime. Herbal remedies do not help. I need a good nights sleep.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Aventyl (NORTRIPTYLINE HCL) relieves anxiety and tension thus helping you to sleep tension free. But tylenol (Acetaminopen) is a pain reliever .
however usage of the two together is NOT considered safe as it can trigger increased heart rate and cardiovascular problems.
