One of the reasons I was looking for a forum to discuss PTSD was because I have been on the Trial and Error of almost all meds out there. I am still very new into this, because the accident that caused this has not even been 1 year gone, but in this time meds of course are offered to help and THEY DO NOT!!!!!!!! The best one I took was Zoloft but still I agree it was a bandaid. So then the whole road of TRY THIS, TRY THAT, TRY THIS, and none of them set well with me and actaully cause me more distress because of the hideious side effects that I seem to get. I have always been a person who was VERY SENSITIVE to medication, and have NEVER been on any regular medications except vitamins and an occasional Ibuprofin for a headache. So when they flooded me with all the NEW AND WONDERFUL psychiatric drugs my body went into EXTREME REJECTION. What compormises my situation is the fact that I also have chronic and constant pain from RSD and the physical injuries left by this accident. I am doing my best to find alternatives. I hope I can learn how to deal with my doc's in a more direct way and get them to understand by trying to help me with DRUGS they are actually making my life worse. I am very glad I found ths forum.
