HiThanks for using healthcare magicIn PTSD, you need both medications as well as psychotherapy. In medication, you can try antidepressant like zoloft (sertraline), paroxetine etc, that would help to control the thoughts. There is no harm in taking these drugs, so you can take them. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. In case, you need further help,  you can ask.Thanks
