Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that you are receiving three antidepressant and two anxiolytics which is not recommended for a single patient. Most of the patient do well with one or maximum two antidepressants. It is true that such cocktail combination of medication may be cause for your headaches and you need to talk to your doctor about reducing the number of these medicines. Please note that at the same time none of antidepressant you are receiving is in therapeutic dose range.


'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
