Could Sleepiness And Numbing Of Lips Be Due To Senekot And Tylenol?

I hurt my back and have been taking Tylenol 3 for about 5 days - last night at bedtime I took 2 Senekot tablets for constipation (haven't worked yet) after I took 2 tablets of the Tylenol at noon today - first ones today) I started feeling extremely sleepy and my lips felt a bit numb, also feel a bit shaky..... is this a reaction to taking
both of these medications? Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to HMC, thank you for posting your query.
I understand your concern. Senekot is not known to interact with any other drug. Neither of the symptoms you listed are known side effects of either of the drugs. But to be on safer side it is best to discontinue the drugs for few days until you feel better.
Hope this information was helpful.
