Lots of things: Take medications as prescribed, and if you think you are having side-effects then talk with your physician about it. There is no answer to your question because i don't know what meds you are on, what your health issues are, what other symptoms you have, etc. Symptoms like these are best evaluated in person by your physician. Based on the findings, a treatment plan can be developed to help you.
