I have severe daily headaches, body aches, sneezing, a feeling of internal fever, and overall weakness. My prescribed antidepressants are not working; what medication should I take for these symptoms?
Your symptoms-sneezing, body aches, headaches, feverishness, and weakness?strongly suggest a viral infection like a cold, flu, or COVID-19, rather than depression. Antidepressants are not designed to treat these acute viral symptoms. Please do not stop taking your antidepressants abruptly, as this can cause withdrawal. For temporary relief, you may take over-the-counter acetaminophen for aches and fever. However, avoid decongestants or certain cough medicines without consulting a pharmacist, as they can interact dangerously with antidepressants. Please consult a general practitioner to evaluate your physical symptoms and discuss your antidepressant concerns with your prescribing doctor.
