elfatdiablo,

I strongly agree with the nutrition comment. Good vitamin and other supplement therapy is definitely worth trying. It can take a long time to see the benefits as the brain is slow to heal.

The Enderal most likely is Inderal. That is propanolol, a blood pressure medication. Do you track your blood pressure? I would suggest it.

I would also suggest you find a good neuropsychiatrist. They are often much better at medications for issues such as yours. What have you done to change your environment? Your job needs to be a low stress environment. You cannot tolerate stress. That is carved in stone fact.

Two other issues to get checked. Have a thorough hormone panel blood test. There is a malfunction in the pituitary from TBI that can cause all of your symptoms. A doctor with experience with male hormones and tweeking them to get best blood levels could be a life saver. A "try this" approach is worthless. You want a specific review of your hormones. Then a specific prescription to adjust them. Hormones are like juggling 10 tennis balls. If one gets out of whack, the whole bunch can get dropped.

There are also enzymes that may help you. My memory is failing me right now so I cannot suggest anything specific about enzymes. Enzymes can make or break the way the brain gets nutrition.

You also need to get yourself and your wife to a brain injury support group. She needs to talk with other wives about this issue.

Your regular doctor should not be prescribing your meds. I believe it should be against the law for GP's to prescribe SSRI's. You need to find a good neuropsychiatrist who knows how to work with brain injury patients. Rehabilitation specialists are some of the best a MTBI. Look for them under "Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine" Call and get recommendations. Check with your BIA (Brain Injury Association) affiliate.

You need to find a specialist to help you. Neurologists are not always good at rehab or other MTBI issues.

Hope this helps. Been there. Lived it for most of my life.
