What is the best way to get through it? Through the darkest of periods?

Anthony What have you found to be the most effective treatments for PTSD?

That was very informative. Gives me hope.

Does the shock part at least taper off? Its amazing. I get super worked up over things I simply assume. This accompanied with an extreme butter fly that goes from the pit of my stomach to the top right side of my brain. The brain feeling is a burning sensation. Its horrible. As if there is...

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't come and go. It just remains. Either the nerves have become stuck in a certain position or ......... your guess is as good as mine.

Trileptal. An anticonvulsant has helped me so far. Benzo's as well. The only thing that helps.

Its not a tension that comes and goes. Its like something up there has stayed in the on position. When the nerves went into fight or flight they stayed clinched. When I talk to those professional they don't understand the description. Since I'm a special case... motivation is tough to...

It doesn't change. It seems to pop. I guess a sort of unraveling. Its slowly releasing I guess. Its at a snails pace. My nervous system obviously doesn't like it. It sort of jerks at it like its trying to move it out of there. It has to have something to do with the sympathetic nerve.

It feels like something is clamped down so to speak. It is stuck in this position. It happened as a result of extreme flight or flight. It starts between my eyes, up through my forehead, over the top middle right side. Almost feels like some body laid a rope on the top of my brain and is...

Thank you for the replies so far. As far as the professionals I have seen... they don't understand what I am trying to describe. Like they are incapable of thinking outside of the box or are way to confident in their ability to diagnose. Some don't understand beyond "by the book." When I...

Not like head aches. Tension. Like your head is pulsating. Unusual head clinching or tightness on the side and top. Between the eyes and up the middle of my forehead. Hell just anything unusual in the cranial area. I'm experiencing these symptoms that know one has ever heard of or can seem...

I was just prescribed this by my p-doc. 600 mg twice a day. What should I expect?

I see the benefits of it. Unfortunately it gives me bad anxiety when I smoke it. Benzos seem to be the only thing that works so far.

Sounds like a palimony case. Hopefully the judge will see it that way. Hopefully you are entitled to half.

Thank you for all of the replies. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. I'm having a hell of a time. I have 2 friends who are chiropractors and they were not able to help me. Went to a nerve specialist chiro on top of that and nothing. I just dont understand how one 10 minute episode...

So far it seems to be the only thing that works. I'm taking the lowest dose of .25 kolonopin when things are really intense. It stops it cold. I just feel the tremendous damage that his been done to my head. Without uncontrollable shaking and anxiety symptoms.

I have it in my head, neck, shoulders, and arms. It causes me to have a nerve twitch that is pretty pronounced. I was starting to turn the corner and felt way better. Then I had a day I was real tired. The next day, I felt a weird sensation in my head. I got angry and went into fight or...

How long brat17? Just curious.

Wow. That is great advice. Hadn't thought of that. Its not responding to the thought bully that they teach you in cognitive behavioral therapy. I seem to be responding to the feeling and imagine that the future is bleak. How can I defeat that outlook?

I posted this in the wrong forum. Can someone help? Thanks.

I am looking for the best coping strategies. This means to not agree, disagree, or reason with it. The anxiety part is getting to me. I was doing great for about 2 weeks. Acupuncture and this seemed to help a lot. Then 3 days ago I had a bad day and I have been dealing with acute stress...

I'm now walking at a fast pace 4 miles. Takes about an hour. I'm eating below 1500 calories a day. A total 37 grams of carbs.

I know its a pretty common side effect. I have read on the internet a lot of people complaining about continual weight gain even after diet and exercise. Is there a perfect combination that anyone has found successful? Specific types of training or type of diet? I have gained about 13 lb. in...

I'm sorry you feel that way and your service is appreciated here.

Thank you for the recent posts. They helped out a great deal. I have looked into EMDR and sounds good. I definitely have physical issues trapped in my body.
