Pain and weakness : You should ask your prescriber about the adverse effects of your medications. These symptoms may not be related to your medications therapy.

Great questions: But they should be directed to your prescribing physician.Your pharmacist would also be a good resource. However, i must insist that your prescribing physician confirm and agree with the stopping of your meds. You should not do this on your own because you don't like the side effects. Again, confirm with your doctor. Good luck.
