    Actually I have had acute pancreatitis caused by medication, twice. It was not any of the medications you listed though. The first time I had it I had pretty severe pain for a couple of weeks before I finally went to a doctor (I hate going to doctors). The doctor said there wasn't anything wrong with me but my mom insisted that they did a blood test and they found out I had pancreatitis. None of the doctors would believe me that the medication was the cause of it, so a couple of months later they perscribed a similar medication and sure enough, I had pancreatitis again. That time I had to be hospitalized. Actually I had it so severe that it looked like I had a tumor on my pancreas...thought I was going to die from pancreatic cancer at that point...had lots of tests and found out eventually that it was just a localized area of severe pancreatitis. I hope you are able to find out what is wrong, if you suspect it is pancreatitis get in soon and make sure you get a blood test.

    Thanks for this input! I'm 99% sure this is what has happened to me. All drugs affect people in different ways. I will be taking all this information with me on Monday, and they are running a blood test. Thank goodness for the internet! You can do research and get information such as this.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
