Hi
I treat a lot of people with PTSD and have found that the most useful drug to control most of the symptoms is SERZONE (nefazodone). This is supported by research on the better psychopharmacological treatments for PTSD. Counselling/psychotherapy is also a must - preferably with a therapist who has experience and good track record with treating PTSD. By the way, I am also a chronic migraine sufferer and have found that Serzone (200mg bid) makes a huge impact on frequency and severity of migraines (as do many other antidepressants). You'll also find that your sleep will be much improved on Serzone. If you don't go for Serzone, try any other AD with Molipaxin (trazodone) as a 'sleeping tablet' - it's very effective for most people with sleep problems and is a close cousin of Serzone (e.g., 50mg nocte)
Hope that helps a little ...
