I guess there's just no way to tell. I would just have to go through the treatments for TBI and see if my symptoms go away with time.

 

Hopefully, both withdrawal and the TBI symptoms will fade out in time. At least you know to avoid the dangerous psychiatric drugs that are given to folks dealing with TBIs, so hopefully your recovery will be faster and for the long term.

@Shep Hey Shep! It saddens me but I'm not surprised doctors would give out pills to manage the symptoms of TBI/PCS instead of addressing the root issue. I wonder how many here are dealing with head injuries/TBI/PCS and also recovering from withdrawal syndrome. I've entered rehab for PCS so I am seeing a neurologist and we are doing vision and vestibular rehabilitation therapy. I'm only a week in and I am to do my exercise 3x a day, 5 days a week. I think it's going to be a slow and expensive process but if I've learned anything, it's that I'm worth it, and not to give up on myself. I hear stories of people who have recovered from TBI with rehab therapies as well as other technologies we are using, and it gives me hope. I will update here in a few weeks if I see any remarkable improvements.
