I had a severe headache for about 45 days, and after consultation, the neurologist diagnosed vascular headache and prescribed Gabacap 300 mg, Amnurite 10, and Nexito 5. I also have anxiety and sleep problems. I read online that these medicines are used for depression and may cause sexual side effects. Should I be concerned, and are there safer alternatives?

Have a query?
