You need to: tell us the name of the medication for us to be able to tell you possible side effects. I don't know what you are referring to with PCS. Post- Concussive Syndrome? Use of particular antidepressant medications can be an effective for treatment of head pain and other conditions.

Not sure...: ...about what symptoms you are describing. Certainly, if this is post-traumatic brain injury there is evidence suggesting tricyclic antidepressants can be used to help alleviate symptoms. It might be best for you to have this discussion with your neurologist, or if you desire a second opinion, do a virtual consult on HealthTap.
