Shannon,
I have taken Seroquel in the past, and still take it occasionally for sleep, but I have found Ativan helpful with the anxiety you describe when the flashbacks occur, it did not prevent them, but because it is quicker acting for me it helped to calm me down. It is very hard to have these at work, I have had to leave work at times myself, and found myself becoming fearful of the trigger there, trying to avoid what was causing it,
I have worked in a Children's Hospital, while it was something I found very rewarding and inspiring, and heartbreaking, it was also causing internal conflict and aggravating the PTSD, so I had to transfer to another setting. I hated to leave and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could...I wish you all the best Shannon in your work and in your healing..
Eva
