I can understand what postconcussion says since that is what happened for me with many other drugs doctors threw at me. (Cymbalta, Neurontin etc.,) With cymbalta I couldn't sleep for 3 nights and about to kill myself. But for some it is a wonder drug. Go figure.

No normal people wants to take meds unless it saves or helps the quality of life. I still wish I quit Elavil if only I don't get these withdrawal effects.

If you don't try these meds then going to doctors is no use since every Neurologist sure wants you to try some meds. I have not seen any neurologist who said don't take any meds.

If you are concerned try with 5 mg instead of 10 and see how you react.
