All of the meds that you mention are for the treatment of Depression or Bi-polar and act on the Central Nervous System. The symptoms that you are complaining of are indeed side effects and in my opinion your being over medicated. I would strongly suggest that you contact your prescribing doctor to let them know of the problems that your having as all of them are indeed symptoms of interaction or Central Nervous Disorders associated with taking them. Let me know if you need further assistance on this.

Reply to 4ren6's Post: These medications were given to me for treatment of severe migraines by my neurologist. So, which one do you think is causing the most side effects or which one is the strongest that could cause the worst side effects?

All of the meds mentioned are for Depressive disorders with the exception of robaxin. The Lithium needs to be monitored with blood work for liver functions. With the exception of the Tarox ( of which I am not familar with nor finding) all of these could cause the symptoms that your having. You seem to be over medicated and thus the side effects. The one that would have the most adverse side effects if not monitored by bloodwork would be the Lithium by far. The next in line would be the Tofranil.

Your on two strong anti-depressants and one muscle relaxant.

I would strongly suggest to your doctor to evaluate your meds and adjust them as needed. If your not Bi-polar or depressed then you really do not need to be on these. The Roxbaxin is the only one designed for pain management.

Serious health issue's can arise if the lithium levels are not monitored as this drug can and does cause liver damage in excess levels in the blood.

The combination of all of these are causing your problems and you need to have them adjusted.

Let me know if you need further asistance on this and I will be glad to continue.
