you need to talk to a counselor asap! your meds are going to take time to become fully effective; in the meantime you need someone to talk to who understands combat ptsd. even though my meds take the edge off the anxiety, I've found that the 'talk' therapy is a vital part of my recovery and 20 minutes doesn't cut it. Any possibility you've got insurance or VA benefits that would pay for a private counselor? you should also use the support that this online forum can provide. Sometimes, just writing down what you're feeling can provide alot of positives. I'll be checking back to see how you're doing.
