> Good information about that medication. I will check into it. As far as PTSD being a emotional and not a chemical problem, well. That is like saying an apple does not have a seed at its core. I am a PTSD survivor. The brain stores memory and regulate emotions biochemically. Frankly, things with me with me and PTSD are out of whack. Medication I think is a tool to help me calm down enough to be able to deal with my emotions. It is a viable option, one I am happy to take.
James here....Here, here ! You can't seperate the mind from the body. Some of us, like myself, are born with a condition that requires meds and others, because of life expreiences, have some of the same conditions, not by birth, but because of life experiances.
