– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – HI TORTURED FRIENDS. Are there any others out there who have had the bad luck of having a Post traumatic disorder added to their anxiety disorders etc. AHEM??!? Have you actually been diagnosed with Major Trauma Syndrome, or are you making up this classification for yourself? The term has a meaning, and it goes far beyond the range of eight weeks of misery via wrongly-prescribed drugs. It is *barely* applied to extreme cases of shellshock from wars; more commonly used to describe concentration camp survivors, whose experiences you degrade by throwing the term around casually. G.FLETCHER. -Naomi
YOU are uneducated,You have not experienced this drug reaction,it effects your psychobiology to the extreme and your nervous system,I am not throwing the term around casually either,I had to spend 2 years in a state of NERVOUS TORTURE,YES TORTURE,there are other variations on TRAUMA in life other than war,you seem to forget that when people do become traumatized in a war the feelings that trauma produce are still experienced through the nervous system and let me tell you a FACT of life,some severe drug reactions can in a small group of people trigger similar physical nervous responses,why the hell have you judged me,I don’t judge those who come back tortured by wars as being in less or more pain than anyone else,it is not a contest,I am not taking anything from anyone else I am telling the truth,the reaction I had has been described as biological torture by many experts so don’t judge me please unless you know me and what happend to me OK,I did not deserve it,don’t f-ing invalidate my personal hell again. You are wrong on all counts in describing the PTSD triggers and diagnostic criteria.

G.FLETCHER. -Naomi I was diagnosed with having severe post traumatic stress disorder after a terrifying incident which happened in my life last December (which I do not wish to air in this public forum). The Psychiatrist who diagnosed me is one of the top in this country and did not say that it was confined to severe traumas such as those experienced by holocuast survivors. However I agree that it does take a long time to get over -especially when complicated with an already prevelant anxiety disorder. I am still sufferring daily. Please lets be good to each other especially those in pain isn’t this a support network!?! Ocean.
Great name,great country,great comments,I was pissed off about being judged like that,this person Naomi knows nothing of my life,who I am,anything,I have not really been involved with this newsgroup that much and on one of my first posts I get that crap,it makes ASAP look bad for newbies when that is their greeting,especially given the name of the group.

The disorder I thought was referred to *is* confined to severe traumas such as life in a concentration camp. It is possible I connected what were in reality two different names — both you and the original poster seem to have used a slightly different name for the disease than what I’ve heard. I apologize for the confusion. I’ve faced enough antisemitism on this newsgroup in recent weeks to be prickly about it. Ocean.

HI TORTURED FRIENDS. Are there any others out there who have had the bad luck of having a Post traumatic disorder added to their anxiety disorders etc. I live on the edge a lot of the time,years ago I was wrongly prescribed top shelf anti-psychotic drugs,they were wrongly prescribed since I was not psychotic and I suffered an extreme suicidle akathisia reaction,it was not treated properly and so I was stuck with the reaction for an acute 8 weeks,trouble is it never resolved after the drugs were stopped,the reason must be either of two possibilities,the drug pushed me into a full and deadly nervous breakdown or it has caused a long term traumatic reaction,all of my old anxiety problems now feel horrifying,my nerves feel like death,it’s beyond words. Are there any studies on the effects of trauma on anxiety and panic sufferers out there or anyone who can relate to this horror of horrors,it’s been 8 years since the drug induced akathisia but the feelings are still with me.
