dgreen,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Glad to hear your motorcycle did not convert to a donor cycle. Sounds like you have had a rough time.

Are you needing the Valium very often? Benzodiazepines like Valium should be used cautiously, especially with a head injury. They can exacerbate the cognitive symptoms of PCS.

Regarding returning to work, I suggest you work on getting out of the house and into environments that can build up to the intensity of your job. The roller-coaster of trying to return to work then needed to take time off again is not conducive to a good recovery.

You also could work on reducing your Celexa slowly. SSRI's can be miserable to get off. Not withdrawal symptoms. Just other issues of feeling 'Not right.' You should hope to be off the Celexa and getting plenty of time out of the house before you try to return to work. Maybe some volunteering at a food bank or such where you can go home at the first sign of struggle.

Take it slow. Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint.

My best to you.
