I was involved in an accident almost 10 years ago. I went crazy and have been on medicatio for approximately 7 years. No telling how many different ones I took before "settling" on one - PAXIL. I do mean settled, In my opinion there is no magic bullet and you hopefully can find one or a combination of Medications which will provide more positives than negitives. They all do take time to work and some of the side effects start to ease as time goes on and the brain adjust. As others have said med's alone will help but its therapy where you learn to cope, so do both.
