Thank you Mark! Sorry, I will break up into paragraphs. I appreciate all your information and suggestions. I have made a to do list from your ideas.

My son is on amitriptyline - the Dr. said to help him sleep...it doesn't. He takes it at night. He's only on 40 mg of the paxil...he asked for a re-eval on the dosage, but the dr. didn't listen and did nothing. He can take up to 3 xanex before it helps him relax and barely sleep.

His best place for sleeping is also a recliner - with a real soft blanket and a very adorable sweet cat. I'll talk to him about the tactile senses and removing anything odd. He has never seen a sleep specialist, although his wife and I have both tried to convince him to go, even before the concussion.

Ordinary sleep medicines don't work for him. Even the paxil and xanex, amitryptaline aren't enough for a good night's sleep. He is always exhausted. It would sure do it for me!! For a couple of days. We're still working on him about that. I'll tell him about the Neurontin, I know he hasn't tried that.

He has no prior history of concussion. The depression is, unfortunately, genetic. I have it, as well as several others in our family at one time or another. He and my aunt have it the worst.

His diet has gone from excellent - pre-concussion - to awful. He barely eats, doesn't take his supplements like he used to or drink enough fluids. I'm a big believer in B complex and took him a bottle. Unfortunately he doesn't live with me and I can't make him take it. He does take it but I don't know if it's daily. He used to take the omega 3.

He does not have a PM&R doctor - we'll look for one immediately. You are so right about neuros and gps - I think they have made it worse because they do not help at all. I'm appalled at what I've seen of the medical profession the past few months.

I'll print and read the survival guide too, several times. Lots of information here. I really appreciate your response and suggestions. I see your name a lot in the threads I have read. You are very dedicated and helpful. That makes you a blessing! Thank you so much.
