My doctor has prescribed for me to take both together multiple times per day.

@margaretob, I think I would ask my pharmacist or doctor just to be sure but here is what I've read.

"No interactions were found between gabapentin and Tylenol. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. Always consult your healthcare ..." --- Drug Interactions between gabapentin and Tylenol: https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/gabapentin-with-tylenol-1147-0-11-12.html

Tylenol PM is another story --- "Using diphenhydrAMINE together with gabapentin may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Some people, especially the elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination." --- Gabapentin and Tylenol PM Interactions: https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/gabapentin-with-tylenol-pm-1147-0-64-8542.html

I hope so because I take 300 every night and two Tylenol. I was told I could take more Gabapentin at night instead of during the day. I can’t take it in the day because it causes me to be sleepy. How much do you take?

I would be more concerned about mixing gabapentin and a muscle relaxer (which one?) so ask the pharmacist or doctor about that! Sorry about your pain. Have you seen a pain management doc?
