Hi Olympiada!

> Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.

I agree IF one carries a diagnosis of PTSD. However, I am not so sure
that anxiety can not be a diagnosis.

> I take three PTSD meds right now because I am coming off of one.

What do you classify as PTSD meds? Zoloft? Buspar? I have yet to meet
a drug which is specific for treating PTSD (and no other problem).
Buspar is for anxiety, PTSD-related or not; Zoloft is for depression,
PTSD-related or not.

Please, folks reading this, feel free to jump in and educate me. Has
anyone in cyberspace any knowledge of a PTSD-specific medication? AKA a
chemical cure for PTSD?

Sounds wonderful if it exists.

> Please email me for further conversations on this subject

I prefer to NOT have conversations via back doors. Talk about raising
one's hypervigilance rating. :/


Smile and there will be something to smile about!
Nancy

>> Nancy, I do not know of any single drug that covers the spectrum of PTSD.Anxiety can present as a symptom of some underlying pathology, it can also present as a diagnostic anxiety disorder see DSM !V. I do not think I will see in my lifetime a single drug specific to the treatment of this disorder.The cure will be found by computers with artificial intelligence, if at all.Be well, stay healthy, John De

Hi Nancy, My writing on USENET is being monitored by my critics and
detractors. I can not afford to talk about medication in public. If you
wish to talk about medication then email me. That is all I can offer
you. We can use Google Chat or Yahoo Messenger.
