Welcome to the forum, Kyla.

You mentioned anxiety. Chronic low-grade brain inflammation is linked to anxiety. Concussions are also an inflammatory condition. That's why people with a history of anxiety struggle with concussion symptoms.

So try to treat the underlying cause of the inflammation as a first step.

For example, a lot of the foods we eat cause inflammation, so stop eating fast food, processed foods, fried foods, and sugar.

The gut microbiome also influences anxiety. An overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut can cause inflammation in other parts of the body, including the brain, which contributes to anxiety. So address your gut health before taking medications.
