Flashbacks and Panic attacks are symptoms of
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A medication
that seems to be anecdotally working well for this
is Topamax. It also causes weight loss. It
is generally a sedative medication. It is not
addictive. Zoloft is FDA approved for PTSD
(Post Traumautic Stress Disorder). You could try
comboing the two meds.Regards and good luck. Sorry your psychiatric
support is so crummy.-john
> I totally give up. Nothing helps. My GP is totally fine with the fact that the mirtazapine (remeron in the US)helps me sleep but thats it. Made me gain too much weight already. She won't refer me to a psychiatrist again and even if she did it would be to the totally judgmental, critical, rude idiot I saw before cos he's all there is due to short staffing. So I am stuck with 6 or so panic attacks, flashbacks n feeling suicidal and self harming more and more to try to cope. Gp reckoned I didnt seem depressed either. Whats' the point? She said it's totally up to me to change but I have just had enough of all of it. I just want to curl up n a ball n disappear, not ever wake up again because I just want it all to stop and I can't see how.
