SORE JOINTS AND MUSCLES ??????//

[joedev51]

i AM 57 AND HAVE BEEN TREATED FOR ANXIETY DISORDER SINCE I WAS 25. I HAVE BAD REACTIONS TO ANTIDEPRESSANTS SO THE ONLY THING THAT THE DOCTORS HAVE ME ON IS XANAX 1MG. AND IT HAS BEEN WORKING FINE. THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS I HAVE BEEN WAKING UP WITH SORE JOINTS AND MUSCLES IN MY ARMS AND KNEES AND A NUMB FEELING IN MY HANDS. MY DOCTOR HASN'T CHANGED ANY OF MY MEDS NOR HAVE I TAKEN ANYTHING DIFFERENT. I ALSO NOTICED I HAVE BEEN WAKING UP WITH HEADACHES, DRY MOUTH, AND SOMETIMES BURNING EYES. I ALSO NOTICED I HAVE BEEN VERY SHAKY AND HAVE LOW ENERGY EVEN AFTER 8 HOURS SLEEP. SOMETIMES I FEEL SHAKY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND HAVE TO EAT OR DRINK SOMETHING BEFORE THE SHAKINESS GOES AWAY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT MY URINE HAS BEEN CLOUDY OFF AND ON AND IT HAS ALITTLE SMELL TO IT THATI DON'T REMEMBER BEFORE. MY DOCTOR IS ON VACATION FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS SO IT WILL BE AWHILE BEFORE I CAN SEE HIM. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS SOME FORM OF ANXIETY THAT I NEVER HAD BEFORE ! ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I am also taking 1 mg Xanax every night and have been experiencing sore elbows, knees and sometimes other joints. I assumed it was b/c of my use of hydrocodone. I'm now wondering if it's the Xanax causing it.

I recommend getting in to see another Dr right now. It sounds like you have  urinary tract infection, which may need to be treated with antibiotics.
While you're there ask to have your blood sugar checked. Don't eat anything before your appointment so they can get an accurate reading. It sounds like your blood sugar is dropping and that's why you're feeling shaky if you don't eat.
I'm not sure about the joint pain. It could possibly be arthritis.
