Default Insomnia after Concussion

Xanax works for me or the generic brand by Greenstone. Other Generics seem weird. I have the same problem from a Motorcycle accident 6 years ago. Baby Benedryl and Melatonin also help for a short time. Xanax is a benzodiazepine drug and there is now talk of it increasing chances of Alzheimer’s in the long term. I am 70 and still working as an engineer but will never have the concentration powers I had before the accident.

This is now a common problem with Football players and we are seeing more research into the problem of Post Concussion Syndrome.

If anyone has a better solution than Benzoids, I would sure like to know.

There are books on Coping with Post Concussion Syndrome at **
