Hey guys
i have been taking emedication for a few months and that started causing me to feel lightheaded and weird muscle feeling.
Now I am on a higher dose and the lightheadedness is extremley bad and on top of that i have aches and pains/stinging sensation in my nerves or muscles.
Is this normal?

Hi James2018,
Unfortunately it wouldn't be right for any of us to say whether this is normal/good/bad since we don't know the medication and aren't qualified.
One thing that might help is having a look at the CMI (Consumer Medicine leaflet) - that can give you a list of some of the common/rare side effects of the med that you're on. You can search that here - https://www.nps.org.au/medical-info/medicine-finder
Of course it's also worth having a chat to your GP or even your pharmacist for some more input.
