I agree whole heartedly veiled. I think this could be a variation instead of the harder hitting drugs such as xanax, where when people are first diagnosed, you need that reprieve a little so you can get some relief from the symptoms allowing one to work on the issues at hand. As you well know, once you get onto some off these drugs, they give you one hell of a rollercoaster getting off them, compared to something like this that doesn't contain such addictive qualities, nor do they remain in your system like an SSRI does to treat overall anxiety. I think these would serve purpose to those first diagnosed if their anxiety wasn't out of control to extreme levels, and their PTSD was more centered around major panic attacks (anxiety attacks) vs. anxiety in general.

But yes, at the end of the day I hold with my original statement within this thread, that no medication is a long term benefit nor something to be relied upon to help PTSD. One way, one way only... head on with the trauma.
