Welcome to Mayo Connect @abba. A lot of us have felt what you are feeling. Have you had a major illness that started this? I would like to ask a few questions, if you don't mind. What kind of medications are you on? For how long? Is a psychiatrist prescribing these for you? Have you discussed PTSD with your physician?

Thanks for your response. I was on fluoxetine and lamictal, I would say my major illness has just been depression and anxiety, no specific cause really. I attempted suicide 2 years ago and haven't been suicidal for these past 2 years, but do have flashbacks a lot. I have briefly talked about PTSD with my therapist but not in depth. I was on all different antidepressants for about 6 years, but i feel like they never helped.
