Have TBI, Problems With Muddled Thinking. Taking Toprol, Improved Focus, Concentration. Would More COQ10 Or Omega3 Help?

I have a TBI and have problems with muddled thinking. I was taking my Toprol at 9 a.m. at work and at bedtime. This week I changed the time for my morning Toprol to 1 p.m. This seems to have improved my focus and concentration at work, but now I am muddled after work. Would more COQ10 and/or omega3/6/9 help this? Is there anything else that might help?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Cognitive symptoms following traumatic brain injury (TBI) spontaneously improve over time. However, CoQ 10 and omega 3 fatty acids may help (there is no hard data in literature though regarding their efficacy).
Another medication that could help you is piracetam.
I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
