It seems the VA was prescribing anti-psychotic meds for PTSD. All that group of meds have very powerful side effects. I know how bad it cam be with these side effects. Some side effects can become permanent. Since VA psychiatry is basically pill pushing all psychotherapy has gone out the window. I get 20 minutes every three months.

Here is a news flash for the VA. There is no cure for PTSD there is only some relief through medication and for those afflicted to learn as much as they can and use tools to help deal with it.

God bless them for trying but accept reality. Anxiety Disorders rewire the brain and no pill will put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
