Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.

 

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.

 

It sounds as if there has been some reaction between your chemotherapy and medications. You should discuss this with your physician. He or she would better know, based on your individual medical situation, whether it may be caused by an interaction.

 

I am sorry I could not be of more help.
