Not only that, many have most of the SAME side effects and different meds can have different side effects hit at the same time. Seems the effects I'm having problems with right now are light headedness, dizziness, confusion, muscle pain, cramps, weakness, drowsiness, memory problems, trouble concentrating, aggressive and even hostile behavior. And that's not even getting into the real serious side effects. Well, it's nice to know there's nothing real serious wrong with me, just the result of a bunch of side effects hitting at once.
One thing that always gets me is those ads on TV for medications. When the ad is over, you're not really sure what they are for, but worse yet, when they list the side affects, you not sure you'd take it even if it would help you.
I have a list of about 42 medications that I'm suppose to ask my doctor if, "they are right for me". I'm afraid he'd throw me out of the office if I did that.
Some of the meds I take have similar side affects and I'm always playing around trying to find out which one is screwing things up.
Sometimes, some medications and certain foods don't get along and that's easy not to know. Good luck in sorting things out.
