I have hypopituitarism (caused by the concussion) and I believe it causes many of the symptoms I've described above.
I've been told by others with the condition that it's because my body can't process glucose like a healthy person's body can so basically my body and brain just don't have enough fuel.
Also, can't stress at work be a cause of anxiety? (My therapist believes I am working in a hostile work environment which is causing the anxiety...)

What is it that you do again? You've probably mentioned it before as I remember your username in many other posts.
I always try to look for more natural remedies instead of heading straight to prescriptions. Sites like Naturalnews.com or Livestrong.com comes to mind. I also try to control my diet as much as possible as more processed foods and even red meat can contribute to the symptoms. But you probably know that already.
That's too bad you can't exercise normally. How about even some light effort? Does that still contribute to your symptoms?
