I saw my neuro-psychologist today again about my problems with trying to remember stuff when I am in class or studying. We are sure the problems are related to PTSD and the dissociating that occurs with that. I don't lose time but I do dissociate more than the average person when I am feeling triggered. The flight or fight takes over and I can't concentrate on things and have trouble studying. He is going to have me talk to this psychiatrist about treating just the dissociation, maybe with anti-seizure meds or beta blockers. Has anyone had any experience with this and is it working?

I am going through desensitization therapy with EMDR for the trauma stuff I have encountered so he doesn't want me to be too numbed out for that when I am working with my T or nor does he want it to interfere with me learning because I am in college. He is going to send me to a guy he knows specializes in PTSD, I am not on any other meds other than allergy meds and haven't even been to see a psychiatrist before. So this is kinda weird for me. Any advice?
