Frequent change in medication is not a good idea. Now that you are on inderal stick with it for a few days /week before changing it. The correct drug for you can be only prescribed after a complete review of the type, frequency and other details about headache.

Betacap is safe to use in paediatric age group and it's a common medicine given for headache in children. Don't worry about it but you have to follow your consultant 's advice.

Dabiclot is one of the safest anticlotting agent. Only thing is you have to be careful while shaving, playing and inform the doctor if you ever sustain any injury.
Even betacap is safe, but consult your physician for what indication, has he prescribed it.

Sudden stop of med not advisable. U can reduce the dose by 25 % every month. If any problem comes you may add vilazodone 20 mg after consulting your doctor. Yes escitalopram can cause wt gain.
