Default Who Knows?

So I'm at a loss. (sorry for the venting)

I am a little over five months out, and I honestly feel as low as ever.
Ive been traveling to see Dr Collins at UPMC every 6 weeks or so since the end of July ( 3 visits in total ), and my IMPACT scores have improved. At this point all my scores are in the 80th percentile or higher.

So that sounds like good news right? But I still have the foggy/drugged/out of it feeling. Still have the head pressure, and still have the anxiety/depression. Im in this rut, and I feel like I will never get out of it. I would cut off half my toes at this point to be back to where I was.

The only thing they could think to do was increase my dosage of Zoloft, which honestly just made me feel worse.

I dont understand- if my IMPACT scores are saying I am improving, and essentially healed, why am I still so symtomatic.

Is there anyone else on here who has been through a similar experience?

At times I think things are getting a little better, but then as many of you know, it all comes crashing back down
