My son has it. He swears it is starting to get better (just in time for next deployment) .He actually gave in and tried meds. The third one is helping him a lot without making him 'not himself'. Also he swears by pets- esp his dog, and raunchy stand-up comedy just before bedtime.

Since PTSD is a form of anxiety disorder, I don't know if this information may be useful to you.

I have suffered from anxiety disorder since year 2000, I was prescribed back then Wellbutrin (Bupropion) and it worked fine for me for about 7 years. Aftar that, anxiety became worse than before, and I was then given Effexor (Venlafaxine) and it has worked pretty well until this day.

Both drugs are also antidepressants, so you will get some side effects common to AD medications (Taking Wellbutrin before going to my stressful work was like living in a cloud, surrounded by peace and quiet all day long LoL).
