Nancy,

 

Sorry to hear that you're having so many problems.  The first thought that comes to mind is:  Are your symptoms from the medication(s), or is something else going on?  Your physician is the best person to sit down and discuss this with.  He might consider stopping the medication and see how you respond.  If your symptoms persist, then a search for the cause, other than medication, might be considered.

 

I hope this has been helpful.
