    Seroquel Question

    I took trazodone and prazosin and they worked somewhat but I still would have problems sleeping. The seroquel is working a little better but I still wake up frequently. I guess I am just wirried about the dose. I dont even feel groggy in the morning either and I have read that people feel like...

    Seroquel Question

    My dr upped my seroquel to 600mg before I go to bed. I thought seroquel makes you tired but it takes 2 hrs before I am ready to sleep. Is that common? My dr said he might have to give me a higher dose. I take it for sleep and moods. He just told me I am bipolar also with the ptsd. i also take...

    Poll Has Ptsd Effected Your Sexual Preferences?

    As far as gender, no. But it has affected me in the sense that I dont trust men of a certain ethnicity. I'm talking about sexual relationships only. Not sure how common that is.

    Going For A Walk

    I understand how you feel. I only step outside to go to my therapist. I completely panic at the thought. I tried yesterday to walk to my mailbox and heard someone talking in the distance my heart stopped then started beating so fast I jumped the voice scared me. I hope you are able to go on that...

    Nothing has changed im still living with that monster anger. I had hoped that since im taking so many meds I would be feeling better and sleeping better. No such luck. Still have that urge to cut myself everyday. Really tired of fighting.

    Effexor Xr

    Well I think my body is getting used to the high dose. I was hoping ut would do more for my depression but not really. I would think with all the meds I take I would be happy but not happening. My anxiety is still pretty bad some days too. I so just wanna give up!

    I have alot of anger toward several people for different reasons. I know why im angry I know that I have good reason to be angry. But I was taught at a young age that everyone mattered more than me and to just sit back and be quiet. I carried that with me all my life and let others control me...

    Ive been believing lies all my life too. My mother was always telling me I wasnt good enough. It didnt matter what I did. She was an alcoholic and addicted to valium. I spent my childhood taking care of her. Always afraid she was dead when she passed out. So I believed all the lies and I still...

    Thanks for all the replys! I dont have any memory loss yet and I hope it stays that way. Although it would be nice to just forget my traumas then maybe the pain would be gone!

    Effexor Xr

    Ive been taking effexor xr for a few months. My dr just upped my dose to 300mg. I have read that people taking effexor have memory loss. Does anyone know if this is true and does it affect everyone that takes it? I also take other meds I dont know if that contributes to it?

    Well I had my last appt with him yesterday. It went really good he didnt act like he did last week. He did say he is moving me out of crisis therapy to regular therapy. I guess he thinks im not suicidal anymore. I told him if I wasnt on so many meds I wouldnt appear to be doing as good as he...

    Thank you so much for this! It helps me see there might be hope for me getting thru. I really cant see myself actually letting these emotions out after denying them for so long. I wish I could just move on without ever feeling it. But I know that cant happen.yes I am terrified of all those...

    Your therapist sounds really good I hope my new one will be like that. Im sorry you have to go thru this also. It is hell. I have many things I need to learn to deal with besides the rape but he told me when I learn how to deal with this everything else will be easy. I dont know. On top of all...

    Well I see him for the last time on wed so probably the next week I will see her. I think you are right that he was pushing me to see how far he could get. I think he will be dissapointed when I see him because I didnt express my anger. I dont think he really realizes how frightened I am of...

    I feel like its gonna be a really long journey. Theres so many things I need to work thru and I dont want to. Id rather not feel the feelings that will come up. But I know it comes with it.

    Oh I definitely will. You will probably get tired of seeing me here. He keeps telling me im making progress ( which I dont really see) and that im very smart and articulate when I answer his questions. If he really believes that then maybe he thinks im smart enough to just get past this quickly...

    Thank you all for the input. I feel so alone. When I asked him why he thought I was wishy washy he said because when I read the paper to him that I wrote describing exactly what happened that I didnt really show emotion. Well thats because I have avoided talking about it al my life so when I...

    I dont really want to express the anger im just afraid its gonna all come out at once and I dont know how to handle it. I am really afraid of the feeling. The therapist told me to let it (how?) That i will feel much better. He said that nothing bad will happen and soon my trauma wont hurt me...
