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.

We all could ask a thousand whys. One thing that has to be accepted to heal is why doesn't really matter anymore. It happens and you have to go from there. If you sit and dwell on why you will be there a long time as there is no answer to how some minds work. Drugs, idiots, and insanity are the easy answers but you still get left with more whys.

I know I have asked why a thousand times, I just had to accept I won't know why, I just know why I developed PTSD. Now I have to address that and learn to control the symptoms. It is hard to move past why, but it can be done.

After consulting a drugs book, My GP has changed my prescription to Zoloft. I'll let you know how the change goes. I have to stop the prozac and then start the zoloft after the weekend.

Default Med change
Hi Piglet & others..

The first med that I was on was paxil and it was probably one of the better ones, however I discontinued after I gained about 30 pounds (pounds by paxil).

Also tried Wellburtin, Effexor - which was probably one of the worst to try and get off of also one of the worst with side effects if you happen to miss a dose or two. Currently now on Celexa which appears to be working ok.

As Anthony pointed out, each med will be different with each person and the lead in time can be quite lengthy before reaping the benefits.

Good Luck!!
