I've been on Narco for headache, Soma for head tension and Phenergan for nausea/vomiting. My dr just prescribed Seroquel for sleep. Has anyone tried these meds? I took the Narco, Soma and Phenergan for a couple weeks but stopped because of how druggy I felt and tried Advil only which only tore my IBS stomach up even more. I wanted to see what symptoms were from the injury and what were caused by the meds. What treatments have been successful for y'all? What recommendations do yall have? Seroquel is most commonly used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, its very strong medicine and that makes me very nervous. I've read that psycho-meds are sometimes prescribed to treat PCS. Any tips or advice are welcomed.

I had my concussion 3 yrs ago. The side efeects have been horrible. To complicate matters I have been suffering from bi-polar/PTSD, and then throw in a hysterectomy last year. I take a different drug. I take Seroquel myself. I have not had any problems with it. My husband is usually a very understanding and caring man, but since the hysterectomy he has been very hard on me. When I found this web site I almost feel off my chair. Finally someone who understands. This may be a little forward but would you consider chatting on yahoo if you have an acct.
