What Causes Severe Body Aches While On Keppra, Gabapentin, Xanax, Aspirin And Zoloft?
I have been taking Keppra 750mg 2x a day for about a year and no problems. I recently have been put on - Gabapentin 10 mg 3/day. - Xanax .50 mg 3/day - Aspirin 325 mg 1/day - Zoloft 100 mg 1/day - Castravastatin 20 mg 1/day My body is aching very bad and I am very week. Are these side effects from these prescriotions
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think it is the added statin that's causing you the trouble. You are taking it as castravastatin. Statins are known to cause body aches and muscle pains. Now from the message I am not sure why it was started. I therefore suggest that you meet the prescribing doctor and stop the medication. A lower dose can be initiated at a later date.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
