Just out of curiosity, why is it when I'm under the effects of a Benzodiazepine, my brain fog greatly reduces? Also...I'm able to tolerate being on the computer or watching TV for longer periods of time.
Is it because it's making me "not care" about the brain fog, or is it slowing my brain down to where it's not processing everything as fast as it usually does...therefore I'm not becoming overloaded as fast? I wanna say it's the latter, but I'm not so sure.
It's confusing because you would think that a drug of it's kind would make the brain fog worse...but it doesn't (for me at least).
Thoughts?

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
