Gettingitback,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. Your experience is very common. Your experience with the ImPACT tests are also not uncommon. They are very superficial.
I suggest that your relapse is do to all the issues your docs say except the depression. You blew your mind out at the concert then put it on overdrive with the Adderall XR. Relapses can have a delay after the triggering event.
I agree that your upper neck may be an issue. Most physiatrists and other pros will not diagnose the very fine upper neck instability. Even an MRI will miss it unless you have the MRI with your head turned sharply to the right and left to show the instability.
It is not uncommon for amitriptyline or nortriptyline to be prescribed in small 10 to 20 mgs doses. If they are prescribing for depression, I would hold off. Check out the Vitamins sticky at the top and get your brain on good supplements.
Try icing your upper neck to help with your symptoms.
Disregard the ImPACT scores. They have no meaning on brain health. They are oriented on Return to Play issues and only address those lightly.
