    You definitely should! It's worth it.

    Trazodone and postural hypotension

    Hmm. I can't take more than 150mg or I get too loopy to even walk properly. It may be that your dose is just high enough where this is going to be a thing. You could try eating something at the same time as taking it maybe. I think your best shot at resolution is talking to your doctor...

    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    I'm reading The Body Keeps Score. I cannot recommend it enough. It may not be for every person who has experienced trauma, but it really helped me normalize. I could feel myself heavily processing as I was reading it.

    Study Mdma assisted therapy phase 3 program study approved by usa's fda

    This is fantastic. It's going to save so many lives. It's ridiculous that MDMA has been Schedule I for so long.

    Sos, My Partner Has Serious Caregiver Fatigue

    Since I was asked, care provided: Interaction every day via chat services and video hangouts. Investment in my career, helping me land jobs and academic positions. Making contacts and networking. Checking up on whether I'm eating, doing yoga, etc. Providing supplements like Saint John's Wart...

    Sos, My Partner Has Serious Caregiver Fatigue

    You folks have heard from me before. I'm in the middle of a really rough patch, and my long distance partner is seriously suffering from caregiver fatigue. He doesn't seem to be able or willing to step back, but has become highly resentful of having to carry the weight. He's exhausted, angry...

    I'm In Over My Head. I'm Drowning.

    I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused. I am not trying to shut your opinion down. I was simply trying to add more context to what I've been doing with MDMA. I liked your suggestion for logotherapy. I did not mean to give offense.

    I'm In Over My Head. I'm Drowning.

    So a couple of things about the MDMA since it seems to be garnering attention. First of all I don't use it to "get high" and I do not use it in a recreational manner. I have actually never done any drugs in a recreational manner except alcohol, and these days I may have a cocktail when at a...

    I'm In Over My Head. I'm Drowning.

    I need help. I'm getting near the end of my rope. I'm just so tired. I have been diagnosed with complex PTSD and now major depression. I've had PTSD since I was about 8 (with compounding incidents thereafter), and I'm in my late 20s now. My now ex therapist told me that I was one of the worst...

    My So Is Exhausted With My Ptsd And I Don't Know What To Do.

    I feel like there's a little bit of this going on. I feel like I'm the designated "sick" person in this relationship, and I don't know how to get out from under it.

    My So Is Exhausted With My Ptsd And I Don't Know What To Do.

    I have been seeing a therapist regularly, but I just "broke up" with them. My therapist couldn't read me at all, at ALL, and I couldn't trust them. Every time I would start to get stable again my therapist would throw something new at me to see if it would stick. EMDR was especially disastrous...

    My So Is Exhausted With My Ptsd And I Don't Know What To Do.

    I suffer from (diagnosed) complex PTSD that is a result of chronic childhood sexual abuse, encountering the gruesome aftermath of a murdered family member when I was a kid, and being in an abusive relationship overseas as an adult. I've had PTSD for most of my life, but didn't admit to it until...
