...I've lost almost 10lbs and I can't sleep at night (or during the day).
On the bright side, I'm having more "OK" days now and my anxiety/depression isn't that bad without it. However, I'm starting to get behind on sleep (this has been my sleep aid for 7 months now) and its starting to take its toll on me. I'm also looking like a skeleton now...Which is NOT COOL. Should I start it back up? The drug is called Mirtazapine. Nick

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI. Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain. Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms. Slowly but surely regaining my life back. |
