I've experienced this as well.

I remember when I was in the throe's of PTSD, I was in a very bad way. My sister in law told my wife to just listen to Dr Laura. Within 1 day, our marriage almost ended in divorce, and it was week's before we worked things out with an excellent counselor. The counselor couldn't stand Dr...

Jack Bauer from "24". My God, he's been tortured, starved, frozen, imprisoned, tortured some more, everyone he knows has either betrayed him or been killed, more than one by Jack's own hand. Most of the people he worked with has been tortured and/or shot. He was forced to kill his own brother...

Illegal drugs, alcohol and PTSD are a recipe for disaster. I've been there and done that. That little ride was as traumatic as anything else I've encountered. By the way: ***************************** 6 years sobriety today!!!!! *****************************

This used to happen to me, mentally. My legs never buckled out from under me, but under stress my mind would just go blank. It was kind of like blacking out. I could not process.

I have seen first hand how it used to be. I started seeing counselors in high school, then in college, then in professional life b/c I knew something was wrong. None of these people, ever snapped to what I had. :dontknow: I am guessing that none of these people had the tools to piece...

I was raised in church, and am gratefull for it. I'm a musician, proficient, but not professional. I play gospel songs I grew up with almost every day. I was raised to believe you had to be saved, if were not, you go to hell the moment you die. No other way is viable, there are absolutely no...

I am not knowledgeable about your age, life situation, and circumstances, but I sure agree with Kathy. This is a good topic, IMHO.

I vote yes, because it is already happened. It has been almost 4 years now since I have had symptoms associated with PTSD.

I would not put much credence in what this cpn told you. I think you are now on the right path. I have been through the psychiatric evaluations, done by properly trained professionals. My experience has been that these evaluations are accurate and helpfull. Once again, I think Ruddy touched...

I think some of you must have been reading my mail. In my earlier days, I was wild, out of control, a total jerk. Kind of a nice guy, asshole, all rolled up into one. The ability to think and act appropriately did not reside in me, except in my work, and that was tenuous. I had PTSD no...

I'm sure clonazepam would work, but now there are a couple of drugs specifically indicated for RSL, mirapex and requip. I have been taking mirapex for almost 10 years now. I'd hate to know I had to live without it.

Honestly, I have never heard that assertion being made.

I work as a clinical pharmacist. I encounter outright dishonesty often enough. It's like if people smell money, many lose their bearings. I see it all levels.

Does anyone have restless leg syndrome? I have had it since I was a child, I have been taking mirapex for it for about 10 years. I have sometimes wondered if there might be a connection between PTSD and RLS. In an article regarding an upcoming study I came across some statements asserting...

Hang in there, I'm sure rooten for ya.

I never smoked until my first treatment center. I smoked cigarrettes for about the next 5 years, then switched to a pipe. Last year I gave that up, taking up nicotine gum. I started with 4mg, and I promised myself I would taper off the gum, at whatever the hell pace I felt like. Now I"m down...

Hey, whoop - dee - dooo!!!!! Happy Birthday.

The first time was at a rapid detox center. 2nd time was by a psychiatrist mandated by board of pharmacy, 3rd time at the rehab I was sent to. 4th time was at 2nd rehab. I was also in 2 psyche hospitals, I do not remember if they did any evaluations at the hospitals.

I am gratefull to both of you for your service to our country.

Howdy, ma'am and Welcome!!!
