Default Success with medications?

Hi everyone,

I am planning on starting Sertraline (an SSRI) soon to help with my PCS symptoms.

My symptoms are mostly due to a hyper-sensitive brain (I think) and any increase in heart rate or blood pressure results in a 'pressure' feeling in my head and behind my left eye with subsequent slowed cognitive processing. I think the slowed cognitive processing then leads to light and noise sensitivity, word finding difficulty, as well as general confusion and irritability. The 'pressure' feeling and symptoms last for approx. 24 hours and then I return to an almost normal state.

Has anyone experienced some form of improvement using an SSRI or other medication for PCS? If so, what kind of improvements did you experience?

Thank you for you help

Halfnelson
