In reply to Is Toby still with us (I hope)?, posted by Ellen on February 9, 1999, at 19:54:42
> I know there was a bit of controversy about Toby's identity a while back. I hope he/she is still with us. I've learned so much from reading Toby's postings.
I have also learned a lot from Toby's postings and have a question for him/her/anyone. Could medication be the cause of traumatic memories from long ago surfacing and causing night terrors? Would Effexor or Xanax after a year of use cause this? If talking about past abuse causes seizure like dreams and so much distress that an increase in medication is necessary isn't it harmful to delve into those memories? Would medication cause more anxiety about childhood sexual abuse than was experienced at the time of abuse? Do coping mechanisms decrease with age? How can one go about daily life while dealing with such issues?
Could EMDR sessions be concentrated to get fast results and quicker response and less disruption of everyday life?
