Starting To See Some Light

[Meds-and-some-hope]

I've been suffering PTSD for years on years on years. Just non stop terror in my brain, something I thought I would never be able to stop. The last 6 months have been different. After all of this time I got into therapy, a psychiatrist, and got medication. The first month (I'd say) was amazing, they put me on Prozac as it worked for some of my family. Then I experienced the fall off, that point where you need a raise in dosage. The next few months was up and down up and down. Then, very recently they raised my dose a little too much. I started to be become extremely suicidal, I immediately cut down. Adding suicidal thoughts to my already long list of symptoms, the risk, I just couldn't not cut down. But now, I'm very glad to say that I'm finally seeing light. I'm hopeful, I feel confident, recovery from trauma is surely a slow process, but I think for the first time in a little while, I'm seeing light. I feel like a good person. I hope you all have a good day. Thank you all for listening!

thank you for your story. I just started Zoloft last week and am here hoping for a miracle.

Thank you. I've never taken Zoloft before but I know a few people who have, I've heard it works fairly well. It will surely feel like a miracle if it's anything like what I experienced, then it might fall off but you just have to stick with it no matter what. Have a great day!
