Welcome, I am also in UK and relate to what you have experienced. I have been off work continuously now since March and am currently on rest, walking (with my dog to pull me home), sertraline 300 mg daily, gabapentin 400 mg daily, naproxine 500 mg daily and omeprazole as a stomach lining protector.
My gp has worked with the neurologist to get my meds right to alleviate some of the pain but it is all just management rather than active treatment. Good luck with your neuro-psych appt, I am still pushing for a referral myself.
This forum is a godsend and mine of information and support for all of us x

TBI and PCS symptoms all came about 3 weeks after an accident at work in February 2012 when I hit my head on the corner point of a metal barrier at brisk walking pace.
Life as I knew it came to a shuddering halt that day. 20 year history of depression and anxiety now coupled with memory issues, personality change, speech and communication problems, ringing ears, impulsivity etc etc etc.
Damaged people are dangerous.....they know they can survive!
