Hey Ndovu

I'm glad you find our forum informative. People like Jimmy and many others have loads of experience with meds. Especially ones that are prescibed for Vets with PTSD. That's what this site is for. So, truly if you are a Vet, we're glad to hear ya and to help. But if not, then this isn't the place for you. We do have a sister site that deals with folks that have PTSD for other reasons.

People have asked you to post something about yourself in our intro area. We just want to know if you're a vet and where and when you served, general stuff. If you don't do it post haste you'll probably be banned from this site. We're kinda' like a bear trap with a smilly face on it. So, get it together or see ya.

Now that the Saphris is part of my routine and I think its been around 3 months I have been taking it I had to follow up with where I am at with it. I started with 5mg per day and then 10 and then 15mg per day I always take it at night to help with sleep as it makes me groggy as all get out. 15mg was a bit much I was losing some vision from it. Blurred and difficulty with focus.
So I now take 10mg and most of the blurry vision is gone. I can deal with the rest ok. Most of my nightmares are gone. I do sleep better and most of the time this med works well. During the flare ups that we all have with PTSD this stuff is useless. So I would say its a decent medicine but not perfect.
I dont care to approach the idea of looking for something else. Im pretty sick of the therapist and doctor having all kinds of appointrments with me. They are snowed that life is great. So let them think that and maybe I can be left alone more. Maybe not a perfect idea but I really do a lot better alone.
That whole idea of if I am alone who is there to be angry with? after years of trying to get past this shit I would rather try to cram it back into the dark hole I made in the first place.
All the talk just seemed to make it worse in me. I feel I was a lot better off prior to admitting I had a problem.

On another note, anyone who comes in here and just starts chatting with no intro cant expect a warm welcome. This is a COMBAT VET PTSD forum. If you are a cptsd vet great slap some kind of this is me intro most ricky tiki Or I know you wont be in here for long. We like to know who we are talking to in here. Vets from both sides of the same conflict are welcomed and are in here. We are all brothers suffering together. Outsiders that dont have the same issues as us are not welcome for the same reasons we welcome all combat ptsd vets. Please take the 5 minutes to explain yourself.

Mate, welcome to the forum.

As you would appreciate, combat veterans have been through their own private hell's and because of the military conditioning, we are different from normal people and we don't play fair.

Jar is a Nam Vet like you. You have to understand where we are coming from, and why we ask.
We get shit loads of people on here who are university students trying to suck gory stories from us, we also get people who have PTSD not related to Combat, and we get all sorts of other weirdo's all wanting to be members of our forum.

We are sick to death of people who can't read. So, we did not know where you were from or where you served, but now that you have told us, you are welcome.

If you stick around long enough, you will see the people that come on here and understand.
Jar was just having a bad day I think.

Cheers mate

Jimmy

Personal attacks are the second way to get thrown off this site. Be nice PLEASE. There are times we all get mad at stuff said this is a web site and you cant tell what a persons emotinal state is. I suggest backing off and give it a bit of time to understand where people are coming from first. We are just trying to peotect ourselfs here. Cussing out people only makes you seem like a jerk. Not a good start.

 

[reddevil1111]

I am pretty upset with the way you use foul words and attack someone you dont know. So I reported to admin to look things over. I normally try to be cool about stuff like this but the stuff you said had no merit. No one attacked you we only asked you to provide some background to relate to you and understand your pov.
Attacking people is the lowest thing next to being a med student in here. If your allowed to stay its going to take me a long time to come around to you. Words like crass and rude come to mind. I bet your the iron assed combat vet that killed a whole regiment of NVA with a spork.

Yeah that was me :D works every time don`t it . Its not hard realy is it.

I must admit, I have allways liked the way, the US allways get round to insulting ones mother. LMAO. Not that anybody would know what a witch, the slag who brought me into this world was. So if you must insist that she kisses any type of arse, you will find her rotting corpse in a graveyard in Kent.

And as for the "NCO`s only Lounge" I like the sound of that. Good job we were all promoted from Civvie to Man then the day we all signed up.

Now if some one could clear one thing.
Is there a: OUT COUNTRY VIETNAM VET rating? I allways assumed to be a combat vet you had to be IN country, IN Theatre to be a part of a combat situation. I know the Navy usualy sit out at sea and shoot INTO the country where hostilities are going on (be a bit hard even for wagon to put a Frigate a couples of 100 Kms in country), but that might just be the exception to the rule. Then again maybe its just to early to think that far or maybe I realy couldn`t give a shit.

So Welcome to the fold Brother.

Hey Ndovu

Welcome to the Forums. As I said we can be a surly bunch, much like a bear trap with a smiley face. Don't take it personally, as everyone has said we do get some people that just troll these forums and aren't vets. It's why we ask, that's all. We're protective of this place and each other. Again, welcome.
