Experience with prazosin?
I have nightmares as part of my PTSD. I read about prazosin a medication that supposedly takes away nightmares and helps you to sleep. I asked the doctor to prescribe it and he did. I tried it for the first time last night and had a great night! Should I be taking this or do EMDR or something else to

Think I need the tablets now.....
This EMDR is so tough at the moment. Still suffering PTSD from an experience from years ago that has re-emerged with the therapy I have had from the recent trauma. Have started on the citalopram as I am so scared about how I'm feeling, trying not to slip back into that black hole.............

Should I or shouldn't I?
I'm sitting here looking at the box of citralopram tablets my doctor gave me on Thursday thinking of another excuse not to start them. I'm just terrified of the consequences of a extended period on antidepressants - of course I've looked up all the side effects! Will they change the effectiveness of

Well, today, I had to face my fears, with no drugs( xanax, Valium ) as I had to stop taking them after 30 years, because they were causing worse withdrawals than the actual panics. I'm a bit of an unusual Agoraphobic, anxiety, panic, and depression suffer in as much as when I had a really

PTSD
I have been living with PTSD for a year now due to being involved in a traumatic incident experienced in the course of my job. My employer is now sending me for EMDR therapy which seems to be helping with the symptoms but which is also causing more anxiety. Anyone out there experienced this?

Hello everyone. Hope you are all getting some relief from your anxiety even if it's only five minutes.

Need some advice
Hi there, this is the first time I have used this website or any sort of online support. I'm currently suffering from anxiety attacks constantly. I feel like I have an attack about 5 times a day at the minute and I am taking propananol and diazapem from the doctor but even this doesn't seem to help much

Back on track
Well after a horrid week of tears and anxiety I am back on track. Been on antibiotics that I shouldn't have been prescribed as they increase anxiety!!! I have stopped the tablets and the tears and anxiety has stopped. Just goes to show what tablets can do!!! Been to see my therapist who strongly agrees

EMDR anyone?
Hello fellow anxious people. I'm due to start a course of therapy called Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, and was wondering if anyone had any experience of it? I'm hoping it is going to be the beginning of the end to my anxious ways as those that be believe my anxiety is PTSD. Anyone
