Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

The recurrent headaches could be suggestive of migraines. Since you have frequent headaches, you should be on preventive medications to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.

The best options for you would be divalproex as it would help in mood disorder too.

For relief of headache, you can take rizatriptan tablets.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
