HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have low hemoglobin, anxiety symptoms, headache, due to isotretinoin side effects. in that case, better to consult your physician and try to control the dose of drug or stop it. Anxiety symptoms would decrease with stoppage of this drug and for anemia, you can take iron tablet. You can take antidepressant with iron tablet. There is no harm in it.

Thanks
