Evening Doctor,
I've been suffering from anxiety and ptsd for quite awhile now. Unfortunately I don't have insurance right now and I'm not sure what to do since I can't afford meds without insurance. Are there any reliable OTC drugs that I could try out to help? I can't continue to let this run my life, I can't focus because of the intrusive thoughts, the nightmares wake me up and leave me with restless sleep, and it's starting to hurt my relationship with my boyfriend as I'm constantly worried about how my fluctuations in mood negatively affect both he and I. I'm even starting to think it may be a large contribution to the severe stomach issues I've been having for years. The only consistent relief I've ever found has been marijuana, as it helps with the intrusive thoughts and helps me sleep, or at least helps me retain little to no memory of the nightmares. Unfortunately I just relocated to a state where medical Marijuana is no longer an option. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much for your time,

Julia
