Concussedlawyer, I was put on it for my mood, but my doctor was aware of my facial and neck pain - it has helped with this and other symptoms. However my pain is back up since starting work, the only time I am painfree is with Cymbalta + Imigran + Nurofen which is quite a powerful cocktail of medication. I am not in physical therapy, and haven't received any hospital treatment because my scans are clear.

Starr - you are unlucky with the urinary retention side effect, I also get this occasionally but drink plenty of water.

Cyclecrash - what you say is true I believe. The psychological side of PCS feeds into the physiological side and vice versa. The symptoms are real, but they are exacerbated by ones emotional reaction to both the symptoms and one's environment. One way to break this cycle is medication like Cymbalta or Effexor. I also had nausea, dizzyness, additional fatigue, and stomach ache initially with Cymbalta, now it is in my system I have no symptoms.
