Hi,
Try finding a psychiatrist first. You might be able to engage in some talk therapy and explore the reasons behind your PTSD. Meds combined with talk therapy can be a powerful tool in combating PTSD.
If you have a hard time finding a psychiatrist, look for a general practitioner. They aren't as informed about meds, but can write you a prescription.
The easiest way to locate a psychiatrist or general practitioner is to get a referral from a friend. Or, if you live near a university call their main number and tell them you're looking for a psychiatrist. They'll connect you with the right people.
Good luck to you! It's nice to hear such a wonderful success story.
K.
