I did two separate rounds of medication many years ago that were really helpful to me. One was klonopin, which I took at night to help me sleep, but which reduced my PTSD symptoms overall. I took that for about two years, then slowly weaned myself off it. The other was some kind of SSRI anti-depressant (SSRI's work, as I understand it, to increase serotonin in the brain). I took that for about 9 months during my second round in therapy. It was actually tremendously helpful in not only improving how I felt, but in helping me make some progress in therapy that had eluded me.

I would encourage you to at least go for a consultation with a psychiatrist and learn what s/he has to say. Ask him/her what value the meds would have alone, and if you continued to stay in therapy.
