Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Thanks Veiled I suppose a bit of TLC will help him with this actually I am quite proud of him for going of these tabs after such a long time.
It gives me the shits that the Government make it so easy for them to become addicted like he can get 6 pkts of 24 tabs at a time for about $2 because he is on a pension and when he uses his yearly quota they just prescribe something else.

You need to get him some help with the addiction. If I understand it is marijuna? There are programs to help with that. It is an escape mechanism. A way to not have to think or deal with problems. Yeah, withdrawls from meds are hell. I just went through Paxil/Trazadone withdrawls with my husband. Was like watching a heroin addict movie. If he gets violent or if you need to get him forced into getting help, call the cops. Marijuana is an illegal substance. Yeah, I know I sound like a cold b*tch, but sometimes you have to push. If you can take a horse to water but not make him drink, then throw him in the pond.

I know where you are. You're a loving supporting wife, and you're just about at the end of your own string.
