Ok so I went to my neurologist today(a renowned neurologist in the country) and wrote down all my symptoms. Basically I have sensitivity to jolts, head pressure sometimes, tinnitus, broken sleep, anxiety etc. he confirmed its PCS and it's been 4 months since the injury. His opinion has been same over and over again that all my symptoms are anxiety related(don't know how much it's true, but I feel he is right partially because I know it's not ALL anxiety related. He says there is nothing physically wrong with me and is adamant on it ( then why tinnitus doc? )

Well he had prescribed notryptiline 25mg to me before and I took it for 20 days. It gave me a racing heart and shivering body so I stopped it for 2 days and faced the worst withdrawal symptoms, started again and have been taking half of it once a day since 2 days. He told me to stop taking it and prescribed alprazolam(0.25mg) for a month instead.

What can I expect after taking alprazolam? Is it safe? Is it addictive? Will it make my tinnitus worse after I stop it as it's a benzo? Also Is it safe to again stop taking notryptiline as I have been taking only half a pill once a day since 2 days? Or I should take 1/4 th of notryptiline for a few more days and then stop ?

Finally, is alprazolam really needed? I mean I know I have some anxiety which may be causing my symptoms but I am not kind of devastated right now and I am pretty much doing ok and giving all this time. My sleep is broken but I don't want to unnecessarily take sleeping pills and addict myself to them and again worry about withdrawal symptoms. I would rather keep them as my last resort. I may be wrong about it and this drug may prove miraculous for me. Is it worth it? Please advice..
