Have you ever got such symptoms?

[Jimmy1971]

Since July, 2006 I have been dealing with a skin condition. This is what happened:

1. The skin colour all over started to get darker with a yellow tinge.
2. The skin then started to get dryer and wrinkles started to appear.
3. My overall skin became really dry and red blood spots under skin started to appear.
4. The hair all over has become thin, dull, and brittle.
5. Now the skin looks dull and my nails are really dry and easy to break.
6. muscle twitching mainly in the legs (the twitching is kinda like electrical currents or buzzes)

I have done every possible test to rule out the cause. Everything turned back normal.

My dermatologist suspects that Elavil or Endep (antidepressents) is responsible for that. I should mention also that there is ongoing twitching in my muscles. it is kinda like electrical shock or buzzes in different part of my body but mainly in my legs.

Please let me know if you ever had such symptoms as a result of taking Elavil. i am hep b carrier.

Yes, had those. Interferon & Ribaviron. (Forget how to spell it). It does go away. My nails, hair & skin are ok now. Awful huh?!

Good Luck & I hope it clears for you.
