Hello,
Your doctor is right in the sense that all most all the medicines you are taking can cause some or other problem being faced by you.
.....Soreness behind nipple or slight breast enlargement can be caused by ADIZEM-XL
.....Muscle weakness,muscle pain or back pain can be caused by TEMAZEPAM,OLMESARTAN,CLOPIDOGREL and ATORVASTATIN.
....Rash or itching can be caused by ADIZEM XL,CLOPIDOGREL and OLMESARTAN.

Since it is very difficult to pinpoint the exact medicine responsible for your side effects,your doctor has rightly asked you to stop all the medicines.

I hope it helps
Best of luck
Thanks
