Default Klonopin

One of the meds that is recommended to help treat the vertigo due to my vestibular dysfunction is Klonopin. I have such mixed feelings about this, mainly due to concerns that it will aggravate my PCS fogginess/lethargy. It's a catch 22 in a sense that if it helps the vertigo, that is definitely a plus. Anyone have experience with this med being used during PCS?

Many thanks

PCS "survivor" - first concussion 10/2010 with PCS for nearly a year. Hit back of head on a shelf. Symptoms were head and neck pain, vertigo, nausea, lethargy, anxiety & depression. Experienced greatest amount of recovery between 9-12 months, with the following year being much, much better
.


2nd concussion 12/2012 - hit front left forehead on wooden edge of couch. Currently dealing with a return of PCS symptoms including headache, nausea, vertigo, brain fog, and lethargy.
