I also am diagnosed with PTSD, but as a result of prolonged childhood abuse. If you have a specifice event that led up to your symptoms- then EMDR can be very effective (my son has benefitted from EMDR, but again this was a singular event). Otherwise there are really no meds (except benzos perhaps for anxiety) that help PTSD- only therapy. Best of luck getting approved for the EMDR and let us know how it went- judy
