I hope you are seeing a psychiatrist and not just a family doctor to have these discussions...
If you are put on meds, please be careful of any natural remedies and get them checked out carefully with doc/pharmacists to make sure they are okay together...
There are some new studies of some meds that are helping with PTSD and comorbid depression/anxiety...
Personally, I have fought it for 10 years...tried so many combinations...some better, some worse...each person is different.
I have horrid dreams...nothing ever really touched them much..
But, lately, I have been taking some of my ad at night and then the larger dose in the AM....FINALLY...I have had some relief from the night terrors..
Therapy also changes brain chemistry and creates new neural pathways and ways of putting what has happened into perspective, distancing some of the harder emotions from the memories, etc...Many different types of therapies being tried. Even more funding for the research due to all the honoured vets coming home and suffering from this horrid disease...
Best of luck...keep your mind open and keep connected...
Gentle hugs if welcomed...
WB
