49ers10,
None of the symptoms you are experiencing will be responsive to Celexa. The Amitriptyline and Nortriptyline help some with insomnia.
Have you been examined for an upper neck injury ? The head aches may be related to your upper neck.
The EEG will be a waste of time and money. It does not sound like you have any symptoms that would suggest a need for an EEG.
What is a normal day's activities like ? Are you back to work ?
The mental confusion needs clarification. If it is during low stress / sensory stimulation, then it needs to be addressed. If it is during times of sensory stimulation or stress, then you likely need to reduce the sensory stimulation and stress to allow for brain healing.
Sometimes, a benzo like Klonopin will help with the stress for a short term (30 days). I have had mental confusion that I call spaghetti brain due to recent stress situations. My doc is successfully treating it with Xyprexa and Celexa.
If you have not already, CA WC law allows you to go to a doctor of your own choosing at this point. It sounds like your neuro is lost and just trying shots in the dark. You may do better with a Physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) You can look for one who has strong skills with whiplash head injuries.
It will help if you put your symptoms in context. Are they continuous or related to times of day or activities ?
