Default Effexor and Post Concussion

Hello guys, hope all is well with you

I've started an antidepressant 6 months into my PCS recovery. It's called Effexor, it's an SNRI.

The drug doesn't seem to have any side effects of its own yet, but it seems to trigger concussion symptoms. I get overwhelmed much easier and go down for much longer than usual. It reminds me of the first month after the accident.

Does anybody have any information about this drug and concussions? I assume its the norepinephrine part that's stimulating my brain too much...
