Hopefully the doctor will have some answers for you!
Well the doctor wants me to taper down my amitriptylan because I'm so tired all the time and taking 5 hour naps while still sleeping well at night. She wants me to follow up with my neurologist if this persists much longer and/or gets worse. I'm not sure I'm thrilled with this response but I guess I'll follow her advice and go from there. I was kind of hoping she would increase my Topomax but she stayed away from that, saying that would be my neurologist's call.

Oh and she's ordering blood work to be sure nothing else is popping up making me so sleepy.

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
