What could be the problem?

My friend has problems with her eyes and stomach. She is 16 and has depression and believes this may be the problem. If this is not a good place for this question please redirect me to where it would be better answered. For her eyes she was prescribed Doxycycline. She had been taken this drug for about a month and she started getting stomach pains. So she went to the doctors and prescribed Lansoprazole. About a week and a half after the Lansoprazole was prescribed she started to shake. And for about a half a week now its been getting worse and worse. Now she is also having trouble seeing, and is experiencing ear ache's and headaches. While she is still shaking. What could be the issue?

also, tell her parents right away. This is someting not to be take likely. You don't know if it's side effects, or possible early signs of a brain hemorrage.

This is serious and not for a forum,but she need to be taken to the doctor or emergency room immediately, because she's having trouble with her vision. It sounds like she is having severe side effect or bad reaction to the medication.  I would stop the medication and contact the physician immediately....better yet, she needs to be taken to the emergency room immediately.
