Post Traumatic Stress Disorde
"I experienced a major traumatic event that resulted in the loss of my 4 year old daughter and almost the loss of my own life with permanent organ damage.  In the hospital, I was started on high doses of lorazepam which did nothing.  When I returned home I deteriorated fast and the PTSD symptoms increased.  Anyone who has PTSD can tell you it&#039;s completely paralyzing.  I was taken to the emergency room and given Seroquel to take 25mg in the morning and 50mg before bedtime.  This medicine honestly saved my life.  I was able to make it through her funeral and some very hard times.  It&#039;s been 1 1/2 years and with therapy I&#039;ve been able to taper down to 12.5mg at bedtime.  This dose easily puts me to sleep and has a calming effect."
