?medication rxtn: Depending on which medication you are taking, potential adverse reaction may explain your symptoms. But, would certainly wonder about other causes such as hyperthyroid or chemical/metabolic imbalances. Maybe due to the constellation of your symptoms, best to have a comprehensive visit with your doctor.
