Default can antibiotics or steriods trigger long lasting health issues?

greetings to all out there... it is nice to be back and able to share some thoughts and concerns...

about 3 months ago, I took a pack of zithromax (for a week to treat some infection), the week after I took a medrol pack (for a week to treat allergy), and the week after I took a week's worth of prednisonde and lexapro.

all that was about 3 months ago... ever since I took all those meds, my health has declined...

All the symptoms that I list below, came and go, but never get better:

twichy muscles
night chills
head aches
muscle aches
sometimes it feels like my tong is being pulled from the inside of my mouth
sometime hard to breath
tireness (weakness).
morning dizzyness
tinglying in face, arms and legs

I have had many blood tests done, head ct, I'm about to go to a colon/endoscopy today, 24hr urine test, etc. etc.

All the results come out to be ok, but I still have all these... and the truth of the matter is that I never felt like this before the meds.... at the begining I thought it was withdrawl symptoms or still side-effects, but now it has been 3months, and I think it is time to rule med effects.

I was wondering if any one out there has had (heard off) a condition that was caused or triggered by either antibiotics or steroids (or a combination of) with the above (or similar) symptoms????

All the doctors say is that I have anxiety (off course I do, if I have all this and noboody can tell me what is the problem)....


I'm trying to get an appoinntment with a neurologist and a psychiatrist to rule (or confirm) anxiety and/or any other neurological disorder.....


Thanks a bunch for all the support
