New to the boards...
Hey everyone..
I am new to these boards today and I have to tell you, What a relief to have found you! My boyfriend of 6 months suffers from PCS and WOW, how dificult times can be with him. He was robbed and beat jat his job ust over three years ago and has suffered with his PCS ever since. He lives on mediations just to make life tollerable. It's a major ordeal popping all those pills 2 or 3 times a day! He suffers from Major headaches, blurred vision, mood swings, stress, anxiety, anger spurts and so much more.... Even after three years he is still trying to get the right mediations to help. It seems like a major game to the dr. to MEss with his drugs.. Sometiems I feel like he is a guinee pig for this guy. Swithing medications almost MONTHLY...=(
SO, I am here for some moral support and advise. It sems that his worse symptom is the anger. HE has major outburst of anger... then realizes afterwrads that he made a mistake and apologizes.. LIke he acn't control it.. and I know sometiems that he can't. I am curious to find out what medications other PCS sufferes are taking... Currently he is on Gabapentin, topamax, zoloft, vicadin and his asthma meds....They also just started a new medication to replace the zoloft ot help with the anger... It seems to be helping, but I can't think of the name of it righ tnow!!! Anyway, I was also wondering if any of you go to counceling or therapy to hlep you manager you symptoms without mediation... Or is he DOOMED to be on drugs for the rest of his life....?? I would love any advice or "sympathy" LOL that i can get!
Thanks,
Andrea
