Was the Neuroscience testing done while you were taking the SSRI ? That would elevate your serotonin. Maybe a retest after the taper down is done would be worthwhile.

Mark,

I had to laugh at your post.

I know the liscense plates of every car I have driven for 40 years now. I tried to memorize every plat that drove by me, you talk about a chore when you go to the Bay Area.

I would spell the name of the shampoo in the shower over and over, every shower.

Bud

This is something that I've been struggling with ever since my injury.
This summer it got really bad again, to where I was in state of panic 24/7 for a few days.
It seems to happen during a high-stress period of my life. Last summer it was my immigration issues, this year I was laid off at the end of the spring. The triggers are usually something not really related to the stressful events.
The only thing that helps is to be distracted with work/friends.

Usually this gradually goes away after the stressors are gone.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.

Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
