This is what I figured. Thanks.

Trying to get up to 1200. We shall see. The want me on 1800-2400.

I wake up to hell every morning and it peaks around 11:30. Then it starts to very slowly dissipate as my drugs start to kick in. Usually ending around 3pmish. Symptoms include hypertension, intrusive thoughts, crying spells, tremors or shaking. Then after 6 it really winds down. Between...

I went to a trauma therapist and she felt like she wasn't helping me after 5 months. I have to find something that stabilizes me. Some concoction that doesn't involve SSRI's.

I have severe anxiety and tremors. Severe head tension. It's becoming unbearable.

Not sure about SNRI's. Thanks for the responses. Would like more input.

Does anyone either take or have had experience with these? I can't take ssri's. Maybe there is one out there for me.

Thanks Britt. That's what I am looking for. Hope it works.

I had trouble with it also. That is great advice. I hope you get better soon.

I don't think my sleep would be effected. Trileptal and Prazosin make me sleep hard enough. I take the benzo after about 2 hours of being awake. I can see how it can make me sleepy at bedtime but is not the issue. I just don't feel remeron is doing anything for me accept making me gain...

How hard is it to come off that dose? I have been taking 15 mg remeron for about 9 months. I take it with 600 mg of trileptal and 1mg prazosin at bedtime. I also take 1mg of Ativan twice a day.. Morning and late afternoon. My pdoc says to go off of it as I am feeling way to drowsy in the...

I never had nightmares. I'm on other meds also. Coming off trileptal while going on neurontin. I also take Ativan everyday and propranolol as needed. My psych doctor wants me to go off the mirtaz but, neurologist said I would have increased anxiety that I just can't take. So many meds.

Mirtazapine has pooped out on me. I take 15 mg a night. I guess it helps with sleep. Who knows anymore.

She is an advanced craniosacral therapist who specializes in somatic experiencing. She has a PhD in Psychology and is a board certified psychologist. She has been for 25 years. I looked at 40 different therapists until I found her. Between Austin and San Antonio, TX. I got lucky for...

Thanks Hashi and everyone. I read waking the Tiger. I specifically looked for a trauma therapist who specialized in craniosacral therapy and somatic experiencing. Got lucky and found one that was also a Psychologist. I had my 3rd session today. She said it was ok to take the pill because...

Was on tripleptal and it wasn't doing anything but, making me tired. I am on neurontin for head pain, anxiety and ptsd. Can't take ssri's. Also lorazepam as needed. Propranolol as needed and remeron at bedtime. Blah blah blah... Which one of these f*cking medications is gonna work...

I was definitely triggered. I noticed cognitive improvements. My lower teeth are no longer stuck to the back of my upper teeth. I wish I would have kept it up instead of taking a beta blocker and a benzo. I thought I was losing it on Friday. Yesterday was wonderful. I didn't wake up...

I experienced a huge panic attack after getting worked up. It lasted into the next day. I then experienced uncontrollable shaking. Like the dt's when you drink to much. After this I noticed that part of my frozen trauma was gone. I had a near regular day after I got some sleep. Woke up the...

And of corse now I'm dependent. I guess it's back to kolonopin. Longer lasting. Unlike Ativan which is fast acting with a short half life. Like crack. I really wish that I responded well to ssri's. I have a huge battle on my hands.

I take .5 ativan on a 2 days on 1 day off schedule. Its the only thing that works. I have tried every type of medication.

Glad to see you showing strength. Keep up the good fight!
