Arty, what you are feeling is normal for PCS. I felt anxious for a long time during PCS, but later on felt better.
Here's what you can do:
Limit over-stimulation
Talk Therapy
Medication
Natural Remedies
Mark's Vitamin Thread
Rest
Meditation
My lifestyle was way too harsh and I landed in the ER, after a combo of Cymbalta and gabapentin, I had a bad reaction, my brain hated it, basically. I couldn't get off the anxiety train till then, so I know how you feel. My anxiety came with digestive issues and nausea due to brain and gut connection.
I stayed inpatient at the hospital and thats where my relief was starting to begin. Months later, I felt almost shockingly better. My family was impressed and my friends were relieved. I was left with a 98% recovery and the clear to move on plus physical therapy.
So, if you are feeling anxious, slow down just a tad bit. You may be overstimulating your brain. However, if this continues, DO NOT wait if you are distressed a lot, seek treatment and help right away when you can.
Regards,
Consider (Elisa)
