    After three years you definitely want to get off the Tylenol as it taxes your liver, especially with daily prolonged use. I would start by replacing the Tylenol PM with Benadryl (or other antihistamine). Antihistamines in proper dosages are safe--they are even prescribed for traveling infants (to help them sleep on planes through painful ear popping).

    If you are able to drift off to sleep on the histamine alone, you can begin reducing the dosage necessary to aid sleep while adding other non-medicated bedtime rituals like a warm bath, light bedtime snack and reading a book. If all else fails, see your doc for help.
