I found that symptoms were clinical depression, nightmares, flashbacks, hallucinations, mood swings, aggression, paranoia and other “intrusive thoughts.”

I have found antipsychotic medications very useful – specifically 20mg a day olanzapine and 150 mg a day chlorpromazine. I was also on a mood stabiliser – sodium valproate 2250 mg a day. I found that SSRI antidepressants were completely USELESS and it is very dangerous to prescribe fluoxetine to a very vulnerable person so be very careful about that. I have had intensive EMDR and EFT therapy. I found the EMDR to be very useful but it does tend to stir things up a bit so you need to be strong enough to deal with all the difficult stuff that will come up. Think about this carefully before making a concrete decision. There are many treatments available for PTSD – rewind therapy, CBT, DBT, etc. I found that DBT was very useful in getting over my self harming behaviour and that CBT was no use whatsoever.
