It's hard to adjust meds with c-ptsd. What you take is different from person to person and only helps the symptoms.

If a pdoc says you have something, that's a diagnosis. They're cautious about calling it c-ptsd, though, because that's not an official diagnosis in the DSM-5, so they'll just call it ptsd.
