i am on 4 different meds for my disorders. For the PTSD, I'm on a beta-blocker for the physical symptoms (racing-heartbeat, adrenaline rush, etc...)
and a benzodiazepine (tranquilizer). I read somewhere that it's not good to use tranquilizers for PTSD, but i've also read that some doctors feel that it's an acceptable approach. I don't know which is true. My psychiatrist says that the benzos will be used on a TEMPORARY basis ONLY. What i was wondering was "does blocking out my fear and anxiety with tranquilizers not allow me to feel the fear that i need to experience to progress forward with my PTSD?" I think i remember hearing that somewhere. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? If so, please let me know what you think... feedback is appreciated...

Thank you,
Josh
