Cool Computer Screens and Headaches

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I am new to this board.

My 14 yo daughter suffered a concussion 5 weeks ago during soccer practice. She has suffered from fatigue, light sensitivity and headaches since that time (which I understands is normal for a concussion). Most of her work at school is on computers, so that has been difficult for her. She had the opportunity to be away from her screens (and school) for 4 solid days last week (4 weeks into concussion), headaches gone and light sensitivity gone. She seemed to be progressing back to recovery. She didn't even have to wear sunglasses in the full sun over the weekend.

This morning back at school, get a text at 9:15 "headache back". Back to computers, back to headache.

What are some suggestions she can reduce the effects of computer time headaches? She can't stop the use. Do anti-glare screens work?

Also, the Doctor Rxed her a higher strength Naproxen and low dose elavil (antidepressant) if the Naproxen didn't help. I am leery of putting my 14 yo on an antidepressant. Any thoughts on that?
