Yes...I am helping a person who is mentally deficient and has a list of drugs which I think are causing most of her problems...they are Simvastatin, levothyroxine; enalapril ; clonidine; metformin; omeprazole, amlodipine; atenolol;; meloxicam plus cinnamon tablets, and vitamins. she is experiencing weight loss , insomnia and does not have a history of high cholesterol or heart disease. She has diabetes with related pain in her feet. She has no money or computer so I am asking about this for her...
