Dear Keshav, Kindly let me know the name, dose and duration of intake of the antidepressant. Let me know the diagnosis - the type of depression. At times you need to gradually reduce and stop antidepressants. In certain type of depression, it needs to be continued for long term, though rare. Please remember headache can be one of symptoms of your original disorder.
