Ap, all the stuff that happened to you, I'd be surprised if you did not have ptsd. It can be a real mother fucker in your life if you don't learn how to deal with it. I'd listen to what they tell you if I were you.
IM having a little of that pstd (Pot smoke thats divine) ha ha Ap if anybody should have any of those symptoms it would be you after what you have been thrue. t6
I was diagnosed by the VA. They put me on meds that helped greatly but weed really seemed to work better. Particularly high cbd strains. If they mention zoloft and youre already having dream issues ask about something else. The worst side effects for me were exremely vivid dreams and thats no bueno. Look up seratonin toxicity also. If they put you on ssri meds they can have a negative reaction to thc in high doses. Feel free to om me if you want to chat.
And don't ever try to take yourself off of an ssri without talking to your doctor. Big mistake, you'll wish you were dead. I tried it and my whole body felt like it was getting electric shocks randomly for about a week. Coupled with the ptsd, man what a fucking bad ride.
Welbutrin and zoloft arent bad if you ween yourself off (with drs guidance) but effexor is a brain zapper if you miss doses or quit cold turkey.
Kolonel Kush Remind suffers from PTSD he said the worst thing about it is the drugs they prescribed to you quit working. Yeah my friend the Kolonel said worst part about the prescribed drugs is the quit working and then you try to get off of them.
Been a lot of research lately on weed and PTSD. It's looking as if the tendency of cannabis to interrupt memory serves as a buffer to the causal events. Might be some research there to occupy your time amigo.
TA, Treatment does help. I saw a doctor to talk to about the bad dreams and such I had after coming back from battle zones. PTSD! TA you have ajusted very well considering what you whent through. Take the help offered and move forward. You deserve a good life my friend. :thumbs-up:
I know a couple vets with PTSD. One was point man on a house to house doorkicking team he ended up shooting and killing someone. It was all by the book and she had a weapon pointed at him when the door swung open. But he was FUCKED UP by it. He said he had dreams where she would talk to him in english and shit or he'd see her in a crowd only to double take and no one be there or just some random lady. Fucked up shit. I feel for you bro. Don't ignore it. He did for a while and it ate him alive. He told me once he was putting batteries in the remote control to the tv and it instantly took him back to loading up a magazine for his rifle and it took him a second to realize he was at home just changing batteries. He said he was afraid a "flashback" like that would happen and he might hurt someone. He started feeling better when he started talking to a VA psych for a while. He used to isolate himself because he said he felt guilty that he was a murderer. So please don't shrug it off shit can collect and do damage. I'm glad you have a goal to work towards and I hope you reach it...Steel
Unfortunatly my flashbacks came in my dreams. Talking to someone help to get them to stop. The weed helps to. :redbong:
Cheers for that man:thumbsup: Cos if they start telling me weed is part of my problem im gonna be sure to hit them with a hundred reasons why weed ISNT a factor and in fact helps me adapt adopt to my new lifestyle and surroundings.Peace and cheers
