the past 4 days i've been out of work due to a side effect from a hormone i was on a week prior. i started feeling a little better, although i still have stiffness that i cannot explain in my muscles. i refuse to go to the ER because they can never provide me with a logical answer. last time they told me i had a STD which it turned out to be a yeast infection. i was fine most of the day but i did do a little driving which i hadn't done in a while and i was moving around more. i was having a problem before because of my muscles being stiff. but just 15 minutes ago, i went and took a shower and came out and now i'm shaky and a little off (not quite dizzy but a little room spinny and everything suddenly looks a lot brighter). i know that sounds weird. my husband talked to a pharmacist who coincidently was a woman and was also on the same hormone. she had the same problem with her muscles. has anyone had this problem and does it go away.

I'm not sure if medication is causing this. I sounds like symptoms of anxiety or panic attack: shaking, dizziness. I too would go to the emergency room and they would find nothing wrong with me. Sometimes I would get a pain in my chest or my heart would beat really fast. You should go to the doctor and explain what's happening.

Yes, stopping the medication can help get rid of the side effects. I would recommend letting your doctor know what's going on and that you would like to have a different medication to try.
Also, have them check to see if you are dealing with an inner ear virus. When I was 24 and first tried to go on the pill I had some strange symptoms. At first my doctor and I thought it was the pill itself. Turned out to be that I had something going on with my ear. The problem cleared up within a couple weeks.
