NormaW,
If you are struggling with anxiety this will exacerbate the other symptoms. Like MiaVita has said, an SNRI really helped me get back to normality, in my case Cymbalta.
Chemical imbalances may be present following injury and you may need the helping hand of an SNRI which increases the levels of serotonin and norpinephrine neurotransmitters in the brain.
Normally there are unpleasant side effects in the first two weeks, and the medication also feels very strong, but this goes away eventually.
I still have problems with fatigue, but the medication helps with mood and anxiety and this in turn will hopefully help reduce the other symptoms also.
I hope things improve for you.
