Default Still recovering - meds are helping but work is too hard.

Hi all,

I thought I'd post an update -

I saw the neuro about a month ago - she prescribed Atacand for an off-label use treating headaches. This seems to have helped since now I only get headaches when I've overdone it.
Also taking Alertec for concentration and that was working, but now I'm not sure. I'm struggling.

The ringing in my ears is still terrible, and now sometimes gets really really loud.

I'm seeing a psychologist to help me with some coping strategies at home and work - this has helped.

I've been working full time for 3 weeks now - and this is my struggle. I'm pretty good at my job for a couple of hours, then okay at it for a couple of hours, then not as good as usual for the rest of the day. I also get dizzy, and spaced out part way through the day. everyone is understanding, but eventually I need to be fully functional.

My question - is this expected, or is this a sign I should talk to my doctor about going off work again?
