well i spent the past 10 days inpatient...
didn't really change much medication wise besides adding prazosin for nightmares which hasn't really helped nor helped improve my sleep but im going to continue taking it until i see my psych for review atleast, i was on it before and didnt see any results then either so ya know... taking vistiril as needed now too since im not allowed any narcotics.. and trying not to abuse my gabapentin im not suicidal atleast and want to make changes, my mood is really not changed too much to be honest finding myself in the middle of a life that is just overwhelming but i think that i just have a horrid baseline.. which i just do my best to combat and think that i actually do a fantastic job at... they just told me that i have severe ptsd and that i have no choice but to get a good therapist and work through things... its actually complex ptsd... i tried to talk as much as i could in there but i shut down several times when i needed to talk the most i am happy to be released though because i am burnt out as there were 8 group meetings a day and i did attend all of them so i guess thats something like .. 80 groups...? anyway... i am safe just wanting some weed to help relax and take the edge off... gotta prepare for meetings with case manager and talk about social security, talk about stuff like going back to school, getting a phone and driving lessons with someone that can help with my driving phobia and all kinds of stuff... trying not to think too much on it and overwhelm myself on the outside in the "real world"

Glad to hear that you're home and that you're safe. That's a lot of group meetings!

I take prazosin, also. It took a bit for it to really start working for me, and a couple adjustments. But now, it works pretty well. I called my pdoc a week and a half ago, about upping it temporarily, cuz I got triggered pretty bad, and that small increase is doing well. Main side effect that can be an issue at higher doses is slowing pulse and lowering blood pressure, if I remember correctly. Try to give it a chance, I hope it ends up working for you.
