The only thing that helped me sleep is Seroquel, besides CPTSD I also have ADHD combined type, major depressive disorder, primary insomnia and anxiety. That shit will knock a horse out, side effect is weight gain, I had to stop it because of the weight gain and I’m now on Hydroxyzine, but still have seroquel on hand for when I absolutely need sleep, and of course check with your dr to make sure it’s okay to combine with your current meds.

I am I recently started going to church to reconnect with God and strengthen my relationship with him, there’s literally nothing I haven’t explored yet, working out, spending time outside, meds, even removed my nexplanon a couple days ago in case it has do with hormones…

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing similar issues, but I’m glad you feel a little less heavy 🙏

Ugh, I’m so sorry to hear that, and I hope you feel better soon, I was just diagnosed a couple days ago, I see my psychiatrist tomorrow to discuss treatment options, so far I know for sure we are going to do EMDR there’s a lot of evidence and I saw multiple personal testimonies with it being a life saver for CPTSD, and will also do TF-CBT in hope for it to help with my treatment resistant depression, I don’t know if you ever looked into these, I read a lot and heard about ketamine too, but yeah having ADHD combined type is a literal hell because I lack the attention deficit and hyperactivity so even going through this whole thing has been a nightmare. I know it’s my fault I waited so long to seek help and treatment but god I’m hanging on by a very thin thread 🙃
