I suffered a black out concussion from a bike accident 11 days ago and my mind has been in a almost a constant haze. I forget little things, for instance last night my GF and I went to the store and I completely forget where she parked when we were leaving, that is something that is very uncharacteristic of me.

Everything seems random, for three days i had insomnia and then last night I slept great. Yesterday and today I've had moments where I've been extremely anxious, a completely new symptom for me. Also, in the past few days I've been beginning feel soreness in various localized places e.g. a spot on my back, my wrists. i feel OK at times, and I'm able to laugh and have a good time, but then suddenly i begin to feel cloudy and depressed, at which point i begin question whether i ever actually felt OK.

There are some signs that I'm getting better, such as I'm able to read now without moving at a snails pace, my focus and comprehension is far better then what it was, say 4 days ago. However, I'm eating myself up because everything I'm reading on the internet is telling me that this will now be a life long issue. I feel like I can cope with the insomnia and all of the other symptoms but the haze in my brain is unbearable.

my doctor prescribed me Paxil because i had had some success with it in the past treating depression. I'm a little scared to take it because I remember the last time it took me a week of really ****** side effects before I started getting the benefits. other than that he Hasn't really given me any guidance. He wants me to call back in a couple of days to see about setting up a CT scan.

I've been taking a few vitamins since the crash, fish oil curicumin and zinc, nothing too extensive.

does the brain cloud get better or is this my life now?
