HI ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Yes. Your symptoms of dizziness and headache could be due to the intake of anti depressants which you are on now. However, these symptoms could also be due to the original pathology for which you are on anti depressants. So your treating doctor is the best judge to know the cause of your symptoms, who may consider changing the brand and dose of your anti depressants to relieve your symptoms.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
