wow youre on alot of meds. thats ok. i d check with your
drug store to see if there is any side effects, from these,
i ve been on most and never got headaches from them.
sometimes one med. can counteract against another,
and then it doesnt work right. Then if you still have them
i d get a referral to a neurologist a soon as possible.

the first thing, tell your doctor. I would think its a possible side effect from at least one if not the combination. Id want to have tests run to make sure there's not something else physicalogical going on though. one suggestion though, do not take matters into your own hands, or take a lot of over the counter stuff for the headaches. have a talk with doctors first.

Read the medication guide that comes with your medication and check side effects to see if headaches is a sideeffect.
If it is ask your doctor for a different medication and you should always check your medication guides for side effects before taking any medication.
Good luck.
