Severe Combat Ptsd
UpdatedI have severe combat ptsd along with vertigo and tenitus. It is terrible. Sleeping really sucks. I am trying to get put back on a low dose of clonazepam. In 3 years my doc has tried 15 different anxiety medd on me. I've never abused them and they truly are the only thing that cures my issues. I don't understand what the deal is. I'm no junky@

Hello, Grant! How are you? I am very sorry about the issues you're experiencing. My nephew also has combat PTSD, so I understand how terrible it is.
The issue with Clonazepam is that it is a controlled substance, due to the fact that it carries the risk of being habit forming and under current DEA guidelines, doctors are supposed to try other options, before prescribing it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
What type of doctor have you been seeing?
I see a VA psychiatrist. I take nothing narcotic now (personal choice) but my symptoms have gotten worse and worse over the years. Me being a bullheaded Marine I just let it go. I take Buspirone, Seroquel, Cymbalta and Prazosin now and I feel like I'm going backwards. For the past two months I have been fighting my self so bad just to get by.
