Hi Mark (& anyone else reading this thread)

its been a while since I posted here - sometimes I get a 503 gateway / access permission error and am unable to access the site.. anyways

I've had a good few weeks and I feel I have turned a corner, had a few days recently where people in my personal life have let me down, this has made my depression slighty worse again along with a slight decline in cognitive symptoms. This indicates a lot of my PCS symptoms, regardless of their true etiology, are clearly linked to mood (depression/anxiety) and therefore a lot of PCS is treatable

To answer your last question, the AD I am taking is actually an AP (anti-psychotic) called quetiapine, although designed primarily for schizophrenia/bipolar conditions, it is often given for major/severe depression too - a pre-existing condition that was in remission prior to me receiving head trauma. Quetiapine is known to affect blood pressure - especially on standing quickly after sitting/lying down - this is what caused me to faint and bang my head.

I'm also taking my supplements religiously now and I'll list these in new thread below for ease of reading/topic separation....
