Suggest Treatment For Concentration Difficulty And Shock Sensations In The Head

Dr. Rynne...I am a combat veteran, having served in Afghanistan and Iraq. When I was in Afghanistan, I began having issues where I could not concentrate well, felt like I was in a fog, and felt like things around me were going in slow motion. Another symptom I have is that whenever I would close my eyes, I would feel what I describe as an electrical shock running through my head. When I returned home, my primary care doctor put me on Zoloft. This helped with the symptoms I was feeling, but if I miss a few dosages, the symptoms return.

Hello,

In my opinion, it is important to continue Zoloft medicine, also very important to check for thyroid abnormalities. It is very important not to skip the medicines and also cognitive behavioral therapy will be beneficial.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
