He's only been taking the sleeping pill for the past couple of months. He's had the headaches since he was 4 years old and the dark thoughts for a couple of years now.

Probably quite overwhelming for many TBI survivors, but this TBI author had been writing these books for 30 years so they are chock full of info and must be taken as companion books, don't just read one of them so that both sides, survivor and caregiver, can "team up". Overall, I do recommend them.
Your sons symptoms are all very common in TBI and it is likely they are a result of his injury, but as Mark suggests, that probably can't really be known to be so. Check the side effects of his sleeping pill, especially if he hadn't had the headaches or dark thoughts before he started taking them.
