ptsd New Beginning Registering For Va Mental Health Ptsd Mdd Psychotic Features

[82airborne]

Well today I called the Va to start mental health treatment. I was informed that I needed to register with patient services. So either today or tomorrow I will go to the mental health clinic to begin treatment. So after I go down there and see if I can be seen and helped I will update the results. Prozac seems to only help me be more social. It does nothing for my violent side. So I plan to stay in treatment until I get this mental situation under control.

Actually, no one can get the VAMC card until a determination has been

made that they are ELIGIBLE for the benefit.

Ooohok I think I'm just getting a Vic veteran identification card

I went to mental health today. I spent all day there. I admit they was pretty nice. The examiner told me they had already diagnosed me with PTSD at my C&P exam. So they made me feel komfortable there. They are going to hook me up with PTSD counseling in the future. They are going to up my dosage of Prozac keep me on seraquel and prozasin. Soooooo my VA experience was excellent. At this moment I have a new faith in the system. They seem like they are concerned with veterans getting help that they need. So the government can advance PTSD treatment. Sooo this was my first VA EXPERIENCE. :^}

Night after night I'm having nightmare after nightmare. GOOOD looord. I have been prescribed seraquel and prozasin to stop the nightmares and to help me sleep. I can't lie after I tripped out last time I been scared to take all those pills. I'm getting jittery and jittery. So I am pretty much forced to take the other meds they keep telling me will help me. I guess Prozac isn't good enough for me. Yes I am still pretty much locked in me room till I feel safe. To rejoin the public. These dreams are definitely disturbing. They are just down right emotional dreams of my past coming back to hunt me. Low key I feel like a madman that's loosing grips on reality day by day

Are you able to work? If not you need to apply for 100%. Now you have been DX'ed with PTSD by the VA you can use your private doctor to help get an increase. How is your sleep? I know you said nightmares. You said you have psychotic features with your PTSD and depression. I think you should be getting 70% or 100% unless you are working 40 hours a week.

Well tonight I started prazosin. Im sure it won't take affect for a couple of weeks. I just want to note how these meds help me. I have not started the seraquel yet. The VA AACTUALLY sent my psych meds by mail. It came in two days. I was amazed. Well until I get used to my meds I plan to only be with loved ones and only a very selected few friends which is next to none at this point. But oh well once I get better I guess I will eventually meet new people. I plan to isolate myself until I know it is safe for me to mingle with others. Which at this point I enjoy being alone. As long as I stay alone I'm pretty much a nice guy. So now it's 40mg of Prozac and 1mg of prazosin.
