"i am over 70 after a lifetime of coping with  ptsd following severe childhood trauma.  i was past 40 before finally having a diagnosis,  none of the medicines i tried in therapy were truly effective so i was resigned to a limited life attempting to control symptoms of anxiety and of course, depression.  after three months of taking this medication, i am still astounded by the sense of quiet at the center of me.  when i need to go out (to the store, or to walk my dog) i just go, with no strategizing over how to avoid people.  i want to post this for other people with chronic ptsd.  try this.  it may work for you too.  life is peaceful and much easier now."
