Brief Answer:
consult psychiatrist

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

sometimes depression or any other psychiatric illness results in sleep problem and headache so first of all we need to know underlying problem and for that detail history and mental status examination is necessary.

your MRI report is normal somewhat abnormal but not ill effect on your body.

what are the associated features you have with sleep disturbance, headache?
like appetite disturbance, sadness of mood, loss of interest, easy irritability, negative thoughts etc...

paroxetine and franxit are good molecule but thare are many other drugs which helps you a lot like desvenlaflexine, duloxetine, imipramine, amitryptiline etc..
continue zicam 0.5 mg for sleep.
Discuss with your treating doctor.

Awaiting your response.

Brief Answer:
consult psychiatrist rather than neurologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
according to me your problem is somatic pain and it is better treated by psychiatrist.

You can go to neurologist in follow up onceand discuss about pregabaline and gabapentine medication.
There are many medication which has good result in somatic pain which i described previously.

You can take zicam 0.5 mg if not getting sleep its not having any problem.

Not to worry much.

Thank you

Brief Answer:
consult psychiatrist

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

Though you are confused due to not getting result, i suggest you to consult a psychiatrist and discuss about the medication which i suggest you.

medication like duloxetine, imipramine, amitryptilline etc will have a good result in somatic pain, unexplained medical pain condition.
you can also get benefit by Pregabaline and gabapenitne combination.

so only once go to psychiatrist again and discuss about it.

also do psychotherapy for better result .
