Your problem goes way past Tylenol. You need to see your medical doctor and have a checkup. This could be a signal from your body that something is terribly wrong. It definitely would benefit you if you could lose weight. Cut out all junk food and sweets. Stop eating any fried foods and start eating more fruits and vegetables. You will find the weight will come off if you make lifestyle changes.

I suggest you find a good doctor so they can evaluate your health and your medications again to make sure you aren't having a side effect of one or more of the pills. Sometimes overtime you can get symptoms. You need to be seen by a specialist and if possible to treat you with the lest amount of meds. I can see on your list you mention allegra? An allergy med. My husband is also BiPolar and on Prozac and any of the allergy meds interfere with his Prozac. I would ask your doctor about this one. The Tylenol is safe to take with almost anything so that is probably not it. Make sure none of your pills are causing this first and then go from there.

sounds to me like you are on waaaayyyyy too many meds!! at your age you need maybe 1 or 2 of those that can help you to function in your everyday life, or to keep your thyroid in control, but taking that many meds daily is killing your liver & kidneys while your body is still developing. Some seem to think drinking & smoking are the only things that hurt your body, but taking 10 pills a day - prescription or otherwise- is worse. I suggest a visit to a different doctor than your usual one that put you on all these meds & get a second opinion.

You should see a doctor.
And I am not a stalker. You do not know me so you shouldn't accuse random people of being a stalker. Thank you and have a nice day.
Please do not send me another message. Thank would be stalker-ish.
