Default New Neuro, New Diagnosis, New Medication

So, I went to this new Neurologist yesterday, and came away with a completely different diagnosis: post traumatic headache, and possible occipital neuralgia. He gave me scrips for norotryptyline and psychobenzaprine, and that was about it.

I like this guy better than the WC one, of course, but he did say I probably didn't have a concussion b/c I did not lose consciousness or become confused at least. Old school thought, for certain. BUT, I don't necessarily disagree with his diagnosis; my symptoms are basically daily headaches, light and sound sensitivity, and now trouble with my 7th nerve and lots of tension and pain in my neck. I've never had a bad problem with cognition or memory, unless I was in great pain at the time.

I'm wondering if anybody else has heard this diagnosis instead of PCS, and/or taken the Norotryptyline? I won't know for a while how I do on it naturally, just asking for stories.
