Product reviews: Advil PM pain reliever

Well, if you need a good night of sleep, and haven't had one for a long time because of aches and pains, you should try Advil PM. It is much better than Tylenol PM or Nyquil because of its less painful side effects. With Advil PM, you sleep better, the ingredients are much safer, and you don't wake up feeling drowsy and wanting to go right back to sleep.

Tylenol PM has many milligrams of acetaminophen in it. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever that has harmful effects on your liver. If you are looking to use a sleep-aid pain relieving medicine lots of times a week you definitely wouldn't want to use it because of the effects on the liver it has. It can give you excruciating stomach aches and pains. On the Tylenol PM warnings it says to not exceed over 10 days in a row of dosages.

On the other hand, Advil PM has 200mg of ibuprofen, which is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug. Advil PM also include diphenhydramine citrate that will help you stay asleep after making you fall asleep.

When I first tried Advil PM, it put me asleep pretty quickly. It took me around 10-20 minutes to fall asleep, when it usually takes me a half of an hour to an hour to fall asleep. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night like I usually do, and when I woke up, I didn't feel as drowsy as I thought I would after taking a sleep-aid. Throughout the day though, I did feel a little sluggish but not as much as after taking other sleep-aids. Also, some days I didn't feel comatosed at all as the day went on.

So, if you are looking for a safe non-prescription drug that will just help you sleep a little and not have dramatizing effects on your body, Advil PM is the right choice. It's safe, you only need to take one tablet, and when it makes you fall asleep, it keeps you asleep. So, go on and try Advil PM and see the results for yourself.
