Tylenol PM contains a sedating antihistamine called diphenhydramine in addition to acetaminophen, and can interact negatively with MAOIs. That's probably why he wanted you off it before starting Nardil. Plain ibuprofen, acetaminophen/paracetamol and aspirin are safe. Be careful of buying OTC products this because many of them contain additives like this that can be harmful. Decongestants are the most dangerous. Some people here have actually taken diphenhydramine with Nardil to treat insomnia and have been fine - it's not absolutely contraindicated, but Nardil can amplify the effects and side effects so you need to use it with caution.
