Other Medications

In some cases, other medications can be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of PTSD, such as anti-hypertensive alpha-blocker prazosin and atypical antipsychotics. Each individual may have different responses when it comes to the effectiveness and tolerance of the medications. It could take time to choose the right option for your conditions. During this period, close monitoring from a trained healthcare provider is important to ensure effectiveness. Possible side effects include headaches, dizziness, agitation, nervousness, diarrhea, insomnia, nausea, or drowsiness. Make sure to inform your doctor about these issues and make proper changes. [7]
