Retrying Prazosin - Forgot how many days to take initial dose before starting to increase to maintenance dose. Don't want to bother new psychiatrist until I know it will work (think I will see him next week.) Anyone remember days? Been on 2 mg for 4 nights. I can't remember how many days...

I slept late very late...miss called, and several text messages from property manager 4am. Making sure I am "ok" because he got message about "screams" from apartment, and I live alone. Had to apologize, admit PTSD and nightmares :( Probably nightmares, but could be D.I.D again.....

Can you start Klonopin (benzo) withdrawals while maintaining same dose? From my understanding it can lose effect over time. Wondering if this could cause withdrawals. And I don't want to increase.

Going through some very bad times. Was looking for funny things online to try to make me laugh. Then ran across this. Can you relate?

Not sure if I posted in right forum section.. Move if necessary.

Confession...my father is a "radical Christian" whom I fear more than anything you see on news. I've read his confessions to murdering innocent women and children. Slaughtering would be better term. I wake-up each morning in fear and terror. Just wanting to wash my mind clear. - I never walk...

Every time I hear this I can relate to some parts, but it reminds me of my brother in relations to our mom. "Hate Me" by Blue October

I'm so sick of these medicines. As I'm reducing told by relative, "You sound like yourself to me now. " Same story repeating itself over and over again in less than 2 years. Why won't p-doc believe you when you say, "No more SSRIs." Your goal is just to get off Klonopin. Told I need to be more...

In 6 weeks will it have changed my brain chemistry that much that I need to do the 10% taper over months like benzos? Doc agreed 100mg to 50 mg after I told side-affects. But wants me to stay on it. But he is a new doctor to me. It's not helping with depression (and I don't care about the OCD...

My new Psychiatrist. I thought he would not be happy when I told I stopped one medicine he gave me 2 weeks before after only 8 days, and reduced another. Explain my side-effects, and reasoning. Told him what worked in past, but couldn’t find this herb in Mexico. He opens a drawer, and gave me...

I don't react well to SSRIs - often make me much worse. Any suggestions for depression that are not SSRI group? I see p-doc soon, and want options. I don't trust doctors anymore. I need to be stable enough to start reducing Klonopin. My goal....

On last Klonopin pills. Trying to step down. But scared because last time serious withdrawals, and probably what caused me to have seizures one day (along with a LOT of stressful situations that day.) I moved to a country where getting a Benzo is hard, and even harder to find a pharmacy that...

So many barking dogs. Even as animal lover. So many around new apartment (not in U.S.) One starts then next, then next, then next. Love animals, but well... it drives up my stress so much. I won't even say what I want to do to them....(even though I love dogs)

Ok I was on a small doze of Klonopin in afternoon. It helped - doctor had me take larger 2nd dose at night to sleep. When I realized what it was doing to me I started to tamper down (I'm extremely sensitive to medicine.) I thought I did a good steady job of tampering...but started having all...

I keep listening to this song since teenager when things get bad or too many memories from past... Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. Just listen to lyrics.... (But a good PSA for homeless youth. I could have been there...)

I have issues falling asleep and staying asleep at night. (right now no issues sleeping during day...sadly. I can control my mind better to relax. But sleeping during day is new to me past few months since put on Zoloft.) I'm getting off Zoloft and Klonopin. I'm looking for natural sleep aids...

I'm getting off Zoloft (SSRI) and Klonopin (but slowly). I've developed blisters on my fingers. No reason for this. Anyone else experience?

Far too long I didn't really understand what was going on with me, and it just made me feel more and more alone. I isolated myself more and more. I knew I most likely had PTSD. Yet never realized how "bad" it could get until past year. This place makes me realize I'm not alone. I just want to...

What was the point? So hard to get help for first time and to trust...now this.... after 9 months. Total opposites of previous visit. Maybe she was having really bad day, but seeing psychiatrist that does psychotherapy. I really don't understand this, and very frustrated. I've been a mess...

Songs I can't get out of my head since teenager .... (songs may trigger some.) Last year major triggers then I downloaded and deleted - delete - download - delete. They are still with me... far too long. (maybe this should be moved to another forum. Not sure where it belongs.) "Runaway...

Has anyone had experience with Fisher Wallace Simulator (neurostimulation device)? I'm reading about it now for anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. Not sure if I can post link to their site.

I'm having a horrible day - days. I'm not even thinking of anything negative or bad (and I'm so tired of people thinking PTSD is just a "thinking" disorder. Like I can just change my thoughts and I'll be fine. It's also a serious body disorder.) This quote sums it up, “PTSD is a whole-body...

Question.. I'm sensitive to medicine from anti-antihistamines to anti-depressants. Started a low doze of anti-depressants (Zoloft) for extreme anxiety. Was starting to do so much better first week. "Realized" how depressed I'd been, OCD got much better - things where changing for positive - much...
