My neighbor allowed doctors to get on that med trolly. Previously on none. Within 6 months she died. The last med side effect was depression. She no longer wanted to live, shut her eyes for a week and gone.
I recommended to her to wean herself off all of them. I showed her that like you said it was symptoms from the meds. I cannot tell you what to do, but I would cut a sliver off all of them every day until weaned off. I would start immediately.
I am almost 76. And long story short, even a small amount of anything with caffeine in it gave me a fib episodes. Get off all coffee, chocolate, Mountain Dew, and colas if you take ANY. Please let me know if you do any of that, and the result. I have no a fib, and hack weeds for an hour or over every morning, walk up and down steep hills to town, and clean my house etc.
