PTSD and anxitey

[worriedmom977]

I  have sever anxiety disorder and PTSD due from being robbed at gun point 2 time within 5 months. I am currently undergoing weekly counseling and have been for over a year. I take Klopin 2 times a day, prsituqe 100mg once a day and they had increased me trazadone tto 100 mg, but have just changed that to Remeron. I have MSK (a kidney disorder) should I stay on the remeron since one main affect it urination??? and is there anything you might be able to tell that might help me more with my progress

She doesnt look at past med history before giving meds.  I am going to call my Urologist Monday and talk to him about it. I have concerns because I am suppose to increase the Remeron from 15mg to 30mg if there is no change, and I KNOW this can be a HIGHLY addictive drug and hard to come off of. I dont want to start something that I cant stop if I have to.  At this point in my life most days just getting out of bed is a fight and great feat. If I did not have my 2 boys I wouldnt but I know for thier sake I have to keep up a good smiling face. THANKS!!!

I am sorry that you are going through this right now.  You definitely have a lot on your plate, but you are doing the right thing by confronting it, in my opinion.  I believe that you should continue with the counseling because in my experience with anxiety, the most crucial thing you can do is talk about it and learn about it.  As far as medication issues go, what does your prescribing doctor say?
