SSRIs
SSRIs or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are a form of medication often used for relieving symptoms of anxiety and depression. Your doctor may prescribe some common SSRIs to help treat PTSD, such as Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, or Sertraline. There might be some possible side effects after taking these drugs. Make sure to follow the guidelines and take the right dosage. If you notice any issues, inform your healthcare provider immediately to prevent potential complications. [5]
SNRIs
Another medication to help treat PTSD is SSRI, which stands for serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. This is a group of medications that are often used for relieving depression. Since many people with PTSD also suffer from a major depressive disorder, SSRIs can be prescribed as a treatment option. Venlafaxine is an SNRI that can be especially effective in treating PTSD. [6]
