Default Do sleep meds interfere with recovery from PCS?
I've been taking Clonazepam (.5mg) and Doxepin (3.5mg) to help me sleep for the last several months. After I got a concussion last fall, I started only being able to sleep a couple hours per night, so I had to take something to help me sleep.

Once I started sleeping, some of my symptoms improved (e.g., ability to talk) and I generally felt stronger. But I still have lots of PCS symptoms, like difficulty using a computer, watching TV or reading for any length of time, and inability to be in crowds.

So I'm wondering if the sleep meds might be interfering with my brain's ability to recover in these other areas.
