I’ve always wondered why doctors prescribe things that kill pain throughout the day and boost energy when that just makes you worse over time.
The most important thing during Post concussion is to listen to your symptoms! Hiding them just makes you push through them subconsciously leading to them just get worse over time.
Could someone explain that? I get that they get used during night so you can sleep, or chronically symptoms that can show if it reaches 2-3 point over the average, but shit like Amitrypiline or nortripyline for two examples. Dosen’t that just harm you rather than benefit you in the long term?
