From my own experience I feel that a lot of the physiological PCS symptoms such as noise and light sensitivity, insomnia, headaches and sensory overload are exacerbated by the psychological symptoms and vice versa. It was only when I was prescribed the antidepressant Cymbalta at the four month point of PCS that all of my symptoms reduced. The medication combined with quiet rest got me on the road to recovery.
