Ingredient by ingredient
MDMA + Tylenol PM (Diphenhydramine)Unsafe
Diphenhydramine stops you sweating, and overheating is the main way MDMA kills. Avoid this combination.
Diphenhydramine is a strong anticholinergic: it suppresses sweating and impairs the body's ability to shed heat. MDMA already raises body temperature and is most dangerous when someone cannot cool down. Blocking thermoregulation during MDMA use turns hyperthermia — the main way MDMA kills people — into a much more likely outcome.

MDMA + Tylenol PM (Acetaminophen)Low risk, no synergy
No interaction is documented, but acetaminophen's liver risk adds up over a long night, and it hides in many cold medicines and painkillers. Check every label, and keep watching heat and water, MDMA's own risks.
No specific interaction is documented. Acetaminophen's main risk is dose-dependent liver injury, so the thing to watch in any combination is total daily intake across all products (roughly 4g/24h) and anything else straining the liver.
