Stay away from LENS. Of the many who have tried it over many years of NT, only one claims it helped. Some say it made things worse. It is not FDA approved for treating ANY medical or psychological condition.
Benzos like Ativan have a poor record. SSRI's at such a young age are also problematic.
I don't see what current symptoms you are struggling with.
How can we help you ?

Great to hear from you Mark. I know you have helped a lot of people on this site. I should've mentioned that I have been working on meditation and CBT. Interesting take on the LENS. I'm glad I asked.
Currently I just don't feel like myself. Headaches, fogginess, some depersonalization, memory is also bad. So is it possible that Ativan made it worse? And is it common that I can still workout if I have PCS?
Also I work In a warehouse doing supply chain management. I wear earplugs there. I work 3 days a week, 14hr overnight shifts.
Anything else that I could do to help that I'm not already doing? Thank you!!
