thanks for this! the little reading i've done during this fun phase of life has been between 3-5am, then i take a mg or 2 of ambien and sleep til 8. today i refrained from the ambien b/c i woke up at 5:30. hopefully that means better things for tonight.

i did this program (website is a disaster for the concussed). it helped but then i got lazy and slipped back into my old laying in bed ways...but it was helpful teaching me better habits

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.

Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.

Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
