Would Lorazepam, Sertraline, Plavix, Lipitor, Protonix, Zantac And Tylenol Taken Together Lead To Extreme Fatigue And A Fainting Feeling?

Posted on Wed, 24 Jan 2024

Question: My husband feels terrible and the doctors can't find anything wrong. I'm wondering if it could be an interaction to one of the medications he's prescribed. He has had a mild stroke and cancer twice but MRI's, cat scans, etc. show nothing. He's awfully tired and feels like he could pass out. This has been going for several months and we've gone to the emergency room several times as well as seeing his regular doctor.
