hawkfire27 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I recently came over this story about a new BRAVE PILL they are developing that will supposedly stop PTSD. Kind of scary, "The discovery raises the possibility of a new class of drugs to alleviate post-traumatic stress disorder or the symptoms of extreme anxiety, or that soldiers or other personnel in dangerous professions will be able to take anti-fear medications during stressful situations." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10650179 We are a Vietnam vet and vet's wife, we are not lawyers or VSO's we're just learning as we go.

chr49 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) If given a choice..I'd run as fast as I could away from anybody promoting the use of such a pill. We have natural responses (fear, pain, hunger) for a reason. Edited June 6, 2010 by chr49 CHR49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bergie* Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sounds to good to be true. JMO, Bergie As a combat veteran, or any veteran for that matter!!! If you thought the fighting was over when you came home, got out, or when the politicians said it was over. Welcome to the real fight, welcome to VA claims!!!

SLEDGE Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I saw people smoking stuff that did the same thing. I wish I had. sledge Those that need help the most are the ones least likely to receive help from the VA. It's up to us to help each other. sledge twkelly@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzai Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Interesting... But what about those of us who lock themselves away from society in fears of how we may react in the wrong situation, when we're feeling a certain way? So we walk out the door without a care, and somebody gets hurt? Better to stay inside sometimes, in my book.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 7, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 7, 2010 I believe that those of us who fight for our earned benefits are the bravest next to those who fought in combat to protect the rest of us. It takes guts to face the VA and not give up. I have as yet not seen anyone cured from an anxiety disorder we learn tools to deal with it but it may be in the back ground but for me a panic attack can hit at anytime or anywhere. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
