The medications you are taking for RA are known to cause some side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, and depression. Baclofen and gabapentin can both cause sedation, and deflazacort is a steroid that can affect mood and energy levels. It is possible that your current symptoms are related to the medications you are taking. I would recommend contacting your doctor to discuss these symptoms further. They may want to adjust your medication dosages or switch you to different medications to address these side effects. Additionally, it is important to make sure that your symptoms are not related to any other underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, try to get enough rest and stay hydrated. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you feel excessively drowsy or sedated. If you experience any other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention right away.
