Advice & Tips: In my opinion this medication is for short term use only, perhaps while going through difficult stages in your therapy. I think using it for years scares me & makes me scared of the thought of needing it for that long. In my treatment plan I've had to create myself (while being bounced around from doctor to doctor in the public health system) In the past 2 years of battling this illness (chronic PTSD) Therapy & Life Changes are the only way to fully recover. And of course these are the hardest solutions to stick with while dealing with very complex problems. Just my thoughts....
