There is no medication specifically for PCS. It is only the individual symptoms that are treated.

It appears you have been prescribed quite a few drugs. It sounds like quite a roller coaster ride.

Have you done any nutritional supplements? The concussed brain tends to be deficient in many nutrients.

There are also needs to have sleep hygiene disciplines and such.

Let us know so we can address each symptom.
Well, I wasn't necessarily thinking about just myself with the symptoms. I was thinking that if anyone has had success with treating a particular symptom they could list it some stuff that they have found helpful.

As for myself currently the worst symptom I've been having is the vertigo/dizziness. I just completely feel off-balance and to me it's the worst symptom because it makes everything else seem 100x worse. I've heard that meclizine has worked with people with vertigo/dizziness, but i tried that and there was no change. Both my neuro and my dr refuse to even consider valium even for a short period.
