    • Good Luck

      From Brillante July 16

      I was wondering if the Prozac might be making things worse. It increases some of the bad chemicals for PTSD... :(

    • I’m With You

      From Brillante July 16

      I saw you were feeling yucky. :( Have you tried Inderal (propranolol) with the Geodon? It works much better. The Geodon only takes care of 2 of the 3 chemicals while propranolol takes care of the 3rd. It talks about it at www.CarrotofHope.org
