Is Gabapentin The Right Medicine For PTSD?
PTSD
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that your son is having problems with PTSD. I am sure from your description that is suffering from PTSD. Now PTSD is a hard diagnosis to live with. Treatment usually is based on weekly behavioral therapy with medications for depression and anxiety. For out of the box recommendation I may also recommend using medical cannabis. There is good data showing that vets returning for war are getting good results with medical cannabis in controlling their PTSD symtpoms.
So you son has several options
1. continue behavioral therapy
2. Start antidepressants and other medications for PTSD
3. Medical marijuana
