Medicine Effects

For about three years, I felt like my brain was unfocused. Lately I've gotten very clumsy and can type accurately on the computer. I am taking Levothyroxine 88 mcg for about 7 yrs., pravastatin 20 MG for about 5gabapenton 300 mg )now off that) since 2011, and more recently Clonzazeoam .5 mg (about 10 moths) and fluoxetine 10 mg for about 7 months. Could any of these be causing my brain not to function rights, depression runs in my family and it seems like I'm afraid of everything, especially driving new places and technology, which I used to be pretty good at.

Hello, Ladymarine! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you've been having.

It could be due to the Pravastatin, Clonazepam, Fluoxetine, or a combination of all of them.

There is also a chance that it might have started from the Gabapentin, since it has an effect on brain chemicals and is now being worsened by the Clonazepam and/or Fluoxetine.

How long have you been off of the Gabapentin? These anticonvulsants are well known to cause these types of issues with long-term use.

Clonazepam carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
