It is not physically addictive but it can be psychologically addictive. When something is physically addictive your body goes through withdrawals when you stop taking it. Think cigarettes or cocaine. Psychological addiction occurs if your unconscious mind starts to believe that you can't sleep unless you take a pill then you will experience insomnia if you stop taking the pill.

I think the effects wear off if taken too many days in succession and you can't take more and more because it will get you sick to your stomach so no, not a good example of an addictive substance.

Yes it is addictive, and the matter of fact is it has some kind of mood elevators in it, I don't know how they do it, but it can be proven clinically, otherwise acetaminophen/paracetamol is a NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and in any manner it is not addictive et all. In capitalism if you let people on the mercy of companies things like this will happen. If it proved true what will happen to the country, and it will cost America, and whole capitalism.

YES...YES IT IS!! Let me get straight to the point. Over time,your body starts to become immune to the reccommended dosage,in turn, you increase the dosage for it to be effective. Before you know it,you'll be taking 8 or 9 pills a night to help you sleep,this can, and will have serious effects on your liver. I urge you to stop NOW! If you don't,you will experience the same thing a cocaine addict,or any other addict does,when you try to quit. You will not be able to quit without the help of medical doctors. The withdrawl symptoms make you very weak,tired,cause hot flashes,loss of appetite,etc. Once you get to this point,w/o proper medication to help with withdrawls,things can begin to shut down,possibly causing death. How do I know this...I was fortunate enough to live through it. PLEASE SEEK HELP.

They don't consider something like Benadryl addictive but many become dependent on OTC sleep meds and when they don't take them, they cannot sleep. The only problem with Tylenol PM is taking too much Tylenol, so try never to take Tylenol during the day and you should be fine.
