Any idiot who would deny seroquel across the board to people with flashbacks on the basis of its conflict with alcohol (as if PTSD requires people to drink) needs to be removed from the medical field.

Seroquel saved my life, literally. I was getting maybe thirteen hours of sleep a month prior to.

Here’s a thought: find something else for alcoholics, or keep them in-patient.

Along with Seroquel I take Ativan (PRN) and 3 other head meds, Effexor, Rimeron, and Trileptal. I still have some flashbacks but not nearly as often as before. I do get some tough periods of anxiety and that is when I take an Ativan (sublingual) and it usually works fairly. After treating PTSD for a number of years I got the joy of experiencing MDD which put me in the booby hatch for a couple of weeks.

I really don't like taking any of the drugs, but don't want to go through the crap again of when I was not taking anything but Lexapro.

Feels like I am in a real catch 22 place.
