Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms that you described here, (Headache, numbness, cold and tingling sensation of headache) may not be due to any disease but it seems to be due to some functional disorders as you are already taking the antidepressant medicine so try to come out of the stress, be positive, if the symptoms persist for days then better to get done the CT of head.
