What Causes Cluster Headaches While On Amaryl, Tricor And Metformin?

I am 8 weeks removed from lower back surgery. No continuing medications for this surgery. For High Trigs and sugar my endocrinologist has added Amaryl 1 mg and Tricor 145 mg to my daily regiment of Metformin 2000 mg and Levemire 80 unit. Cluster migraine headaches with aura started 2 1/2 weeks after surgery and are continuing to this day. I am being treated with imitrex and a pain med which helps to reduce the pain. My question is can these new drugs be a contributing cause to the migraines. I did have these headaches as a youngster but they had tapered off to maybe one in ten years or so and were never in the cluster frequency. Thank You. Michael
