Does Zolpidem Or Restoril Interact With Tylenol?
Question: I have severe tinnitus. Was on diuretic for fluid/ear . Have low potassium and sodium. Does zolpidem or restoril work better for sleep? Does tylenol interact?
Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Low potassium and sodium needs electrolyte replenishment. Electrolyte solutions like pedialyte or any oral rehydration salt will work. Zolpidem is a good anxiolytic and can be used if there is a problem of insomnia and it does not interact with tylenol.
But more important here is management of tinnitus. Water pills ( diuretics ) likely caused it. You need to stop diuretics and any other medication that can cause it. Use masking devices, tinnitus retraining, hearing aids to help with the tinnitus. TCAs like Amitriptyline can also help and alprazolam along with zolpidem to help with the tinnitus. Use gingko biloba, zinc supplements and B complex vitamins as well. Talk to an otorhinolaryngologist and let them sort out other possibilities for this tinnitus and manage it accordingly.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
