nice to meet you dayzee9. The meds I take are not truly for this dx as no meds really are. I've been on rx meds for the past decade for depression/ptsd in which time I've run through the SSRI class and the benzos. The current cocktail isn't ideal but it is enough to keep me from suicidal ideation and sleep is possible most nights....all good things.

I think in a post above I quoted another poster from a couple of years back. They had posted some great information about physical reactions to PTSD triggers. My meds had little or nothing to do with the experience I had (I think anyway).

I grew up with the PDR in the house well into my twenties when I would visit home and seek out info about anything my then psychopharmacologist was pushing. I'd also peruse ma's nursing rx books. So consider me up on anything going into my system. I never wanted to be this cocktailed yet I realize the advantage to being more stable in many aspects. Ya can't have it all I guess :: shrug ::

It is nice to have another old-timer with this dx on this forum. Willkommen
