Hi,



Thank you for posting your query.



I require more information, such as the detailed MRI report.



To diagnose stroke, one should have symptoms such as weakness or numbness of one side of body, facial paralysis, trouble speaking, severe headache, etc.



The medications advised to you are usually given for depression and not for stroke. So, do you have features of depression and anxiety?



Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
