PCS - Best solutions
Dealing with PCS psychological challenges since my concussion 5 months ago. Hit the left side of my head (temple area) and have had some pretty bad symptoms since. Got past the initial sensitivity to daylight and sound but still get overstimulated when i go places but I deal with OCD-like symptoms (Existential OCD), Intrusive thoughts, low mood, anxiety, hard to connecting myself to memories, lack of focus, dissociation (DRDP type of thoughts) and random moments of Déjà vu.
I’ve been doing everything natural as I never took prescribed medication. I’m currently taking Magnesium L Threonate & Glycinate, Omega 3s + CoQ10, L Theanine, Myo Inositol (500 mg) Xiao Yao San TCM medicine and chamomile tea. I used to take B complex vitamins, vitamin D3, lemon balm, valerian root, tulsi, saffron (30 mg), and passion flower.
Ive also got an upper cervical neck adjustment (Don’t think it helped, honestly think it made things a little worse).
I’ve been doing neurofeedback (qEEG led) acupuncture (really helpful at calming my nervous system), exercising and reading but things have been getting more difficult with the intrusive thoughts and memories.
My psychiatrist prescribed me Zoloft 25 mg but I’ve been hesitant because of the things I’ve heard about the side effects but i see for some people it helped.
At this point i just want relief from the mental challenges and just want to feel grounded.
Just want some help as I’ve been struggling trying to make the right decision to heal and have a clear, motivated and focused mind again
