Oh no! I'm so sorry that now you're having to deal with physical complications on top of ptsd. Do you have a lot of problems with fatigue? I got off anti psychotics due to the health concerns. I decided a little mania beats stroke, diabetes or heart attack. I spent a year eating a healthy diet and exercising 5 days a week to gain weight and maintain obesity. All I've done is quit the seroquel and lost 15 lbs so far.

Are they sure your ptsd didn't cause bipolar? That's really strange to be misdiagnosed between those two. Have you found meds or therapy that help more with the correct diagnosis? I've heard both ptsd is curable and it's not. Mine goes back from childhood so I'd say no way. I was given Prazosin for ptsd but had bad side effects. Most of my memories are blacked out anyway. I did read ptsd causes brain damage. Certain parts of the brain don't develop to full capacity but I think only with kids.
