Hi there,

Unfortunately, post concussive syndrome can last for weeks to even months. I don't believe that Ritalin will give you any significant relief, in fact I really do think that it will make your symptoms worse. I often find that time is the best relief, and there is no good medication for post concussive syndrome, which is what you seem to have.

I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
