Default Benzodiazepines

Hey folks.

Hit my head 10/12. PCS since then. I've been very up and down emotionally, and have experienced an dramatic increase in my anxiety (a pre-existing condition, but severity has worsened since the mTBI).

Anyway, the Doc prescribed Ativan. I am desperately seeking relief from my anxiety, and am eager to take the Ativan, but I'm wary of compounding any PCS symptoms by taking what I understand to be a pretty heavy drug.

Does anyone have any experience or insights regarding benzodiazapines and PCS? I suspect they will help with the anxiety, but could they make other symptoms worse?

Thanks everybody. Happy New Year.
