Question
aloneintx
Please forgive me if this is something that is common knowledge or just plain stupid.
I have been home for a little over three years and when i first got home I went to the local VA for help with some issues I was having, such as sleep, nightmares, hearing things etc.
I was unable to see a Dr but went through the initial screening and was put on anti-psychotics. I was very unhappy with this as 1. I dont think i am psychotic & 2. they made me very sleepy and out of it.
After being away from home for so long the last thing I wanted to do was sit on a couch at home and veg out.
I called back and tried to speak with the Dr or assistant but only was able to leave a message.
Long story short the appointment was three months out and I did not want to take those meds while waiting. After that experience I chose not to go back and tried to deal with it on my own.
3 years later I still have not recovered and after a wake up call I decided it was time to get help from a professional.
I do not want to go to back to the VA and have them try to drug me up again and don't really know where to go. I have been having issues with my job with missing work and need to get some help.
Also do i have any protection at my job?
Any input you would share will help.
