    G'day Emmarie,

    Thank you for your question.

    Tylenol has as its main ingredient is acetaminophen or paracetemol as it is known in Australia. It is relatively safe in recommended doses over a short period of time which is why you can buy it over the counter.

    Overdoses of acetaminophen are serious and can be fatal from liver toxicity. If you are a heavy drinker the danger is worse. Early signs are nausea, vomiting and general malaise.

    I would see a doctor for treatment for insomnia and to stop your consumption of painkillers. They are only for shortterm use.

    I have attached sources for your reference.
