Nervous system problems are often side effects or symptoms of overuse
of prescription and nonprescription medications. Almost every drug is capable
of producing nervous system problems. Be sure to review a complete list of all
your medications, both prescription and nonprescription, with your health
professional or pharmacist. Medications can also interact with each other and
cause problems.
Frequent use of nonprescription medication to control a troublesome
symptom should also be discussed with your health professional. Symptoms such
as headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision may be a sign that further
evaluation is needed.
