Default TBI and fatigue

Hi!
5 months ago I hit my head 2x within a few minutes of each other and was diagnosed with TBI. I have been settling with lots of symptoms, and am unable to return to work yet. The one that really puts me in a tizzy is not my balance, migraines, dizzy, vertigo, left sided weakness, cognitive issues or even my nystagmus...what really gets me is the fatigue!

I was started on nortriptoline to help with vestibular migraines in March. Soon after, I started feeling this horrible uncomfortable fatigue. Nit just really tired, but flu like....it was awful. In May, my neurologist had me wean off of it e cause of y fatigue complaints. Now I still had some extreme fatigue when I was off of it, but the episodes didn't last nearly as long, and were more just take a nap tired. But, I became very dizzy again, with true bouts of vertigo frequently. So las Thursday, I went back on nortriptolin 25mg....today I have the extreme fatigue and am miserable. Do you think it's the medication or coincidence??

Help! I hate this!!

Wendy
