What does wilful child mean - that you absolutely want to get better?
I'm sorry about the situation fb, but you have the right to choose your health provider. 3 years is a long time to retain somebody and not make much progress. You're the only person who can gauge how you feel and what particular meds do to you, especially when you have a complex set of problems. You also need a doc who quite simply knows you better and understands your personality and unique situation. You are not going to get dependent on benzos and opiates - not saying long-term use is a good idea but you do take them for the indicated reason. Also MAOIS are probably the class of drugs that have the potential to help you the most, especially Nardil. You need a doc who's comfortable with 2nd- and 3rd- and 4th- line treatments and understands the PTSD cluster of symptoms.
I know it's tough right now but...hang in there I guess is all. One day at a time. Or one hour or one minute. You have a partner in misery - if that's any consolation.
C-PTSD: social phobia, major depression, dissociation
Currently on 150mg amitriptyline single dose at night.
Improving.
