Max,

Sounds pretty PCS to me.

I think if you had no reason to be on Lexapro prior to your fall I would be reluctant to introduce it to myself this early in recovery.

You haven't been PCS'ey that long, I would be tempted to allow my body to correct itself.

This is strictly my opinion and not a command.

Pay attention to what if any triggers set off your symptoms (bright lights, loud music whatever) and refrain and or limit such things for awhile.

Don't forget to purchase a new helmet, never trust one that was tried out.

Bud

Hi Bud,

Thanks for your reply. I was given the Lexapro because i am having health anxiety and depression from the chronic headaches as i am terrified i might have intracranial hypertension/hydrocephalus which is a lifelong condition though my neurologist has dismissed both.

The daily headaches and dizziness are really taking its toll on me although its not debilitating.

Hi All,

I have been getting this leg weakness feeling few days ago and i am not sure if this is due to my accident. I have been dropping things from my hand too and i am so afraid that this could be ALS.

I have no problem walking and swimming but i have this weird feeling that the legs are weak. Please help.
