Bingo.... absolutely well said. It is a temporary solution to enable you to work effectively through your trauma.

Often many people are prescribed medication and assimilate the immediate thinking that all these symptoms are just going to go away now and be controlled, as that is what pharmaceutical companies do enjoy making people believe. The facts though are quite different, and I have a lot of hard experience from thousands of people which all confirm the same thing... medication is a temporary solution to allow you to work through your trauma and learn management skills. Once you achieve this, medication is a low dose requirement or non-requirement. Some may use it during tough times only within their lives, some may do all the trauma therapy and want to work, so the sheer stress of work alone forces them to be fully medicated the rest of their lives.... though those in that situation also learn quickly that they must manage more effectively and change their daily lifestyle patterns to release the daily work stress created.

Medication has a purpose.... that purpose is rarely met though due to physician abuse, negligence and mis-information.
