This is my first visit. I have been dealing with ptsd for 26 months now. It has been a difficult journey. I am now going through emdr therapy. I have read a lot of mixed reviews and was wondering if anyone has done emdr and what where the outcomes. I am still on medication and I am hoping that won't always be necessary .my flashbacks have diminished after starting seroquel. At times of stress I still need a benzo to control my anxiety.
I have managed to continue working but have still needed intermittent leave to cover myself on days that I don't function well. I am a nurse at a hospital, as a result of the stress I have transferred to the rehab unit from acute care. Too many triggers with acute care. I have more good days lately but I still struggle. I have hope that emdr might help but I have been in therapy and on medication since the beginning of this nightmare. Any insight from anyone?
