Accepted Answer

: Yes, medication can cause hepatitis. However, we could not rule out progressive hepatitis from the initial viral infection, especially you are infected with hepatitis B or C. So in this case, steps need to be carried out for defining the etiology. I hope you have been followed by a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist.

Question 6

i take hydroxyzine pristiq (desvenlafaxine) depekote er and seroquel xr. every night i suffer from headaches body feels weak can't stop urinatiing and bad depression?

Accepted Answer

Rule out sleep apnea: Please see a sleep doctor as sleep apnea can cause all of those  symptoms, including excess nighttime urination. Hydroxyzine can be very sedating, but this usually goes away in several weeks. Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) can cause headaches, but lack of oxygen from stopping breathing at night can do that as well. Significant nighttime oxygen loss can certainly cause headaches and daytime fatigue and ^ in peeing.
