I have been on 80mg of prozac for a few years now. Initially it was prescribed for depression (at a lower dose), and then progressed to 40 and now 80 to combat OCD symptoms. Supposedly it helps with the ptsd symptoms, but I don't see it. The only thing that it could be assisting, is the numbing feeling (but that is also a symptom of ptsd, so maybe it isn't helping at all!)
The prozac did help my OCD tremendously, but I have been on and off different mood stabilizers for the past few years as well. Right now, I only take prozac and trazadone (at night to sleep). My ptsd is full blown, so I don't see the prozac as beneficial with the illness.
