I stopped taking it because I couldn't afford to pay for the medications or doctor's visits. I have to say that I wish I was still on it. It kept the nightmares and flashbacks in check a lot better than doing it all by myself. I don't have combat PTSD either but its perfectly possible for civilian PTSD to be just as crippling and severe combat PTSD. They're still different, though. I recommend it, though your dosage might have to be adjusted at first. Good luck.
