I have to study at night so i sleep at 1 a.m.
And i wake up at 11 a.m. ,i think it is too much sleep , but still i dont feel refresh after 10 hours of sleep and there is always slight headache and drowsiness and little irritation after i wake up
So what to do ?

Visit your psychiatrist again. You shd not be taking escitslopram and fluvox together. Take one agent at proper time and dose along wth a med to help in sleep.

Don't try to self meditate yourself. Escitalopram and fluvoxamine are both belonging to the same group of drug. They should not be combined. It can lead to side effects. You seem to have symptoms which again need a detailed evaluation. Kindly consult your psychiatrist immediately.
