Thanks Galaxy. I am sure my symptoms are less severe than most on here, but they still are quite debilitating.

I've seen several doctors including a neurologist I'm currently under the care of. They all say the same thing pretty much - give yourself cognitive and physical rest. Then, they tell you 3 months, and raise that to 6 months. That's where I'm at.
I have tried to do that as much as I can but I am currently a Chemical Engineering Student at college.

First concussion that produced symptoms was on 10/2/2014
I have taken amitriptyline for insomnia and headaches but discontinued that because of nasty side effects.
I take lorazepam (up to 2mg/day) for anxiety and occassionally Lunesta for insomnia. I was prescribed these for conditions I had prior to the concussion. Unfortunately, both diagnosed conditions have gotten a lot worse.

Thanks for your interest. What about you? What symptoms are you dealing with? Any things you have found to help? When was your concussion?
