Hello,

If someones symptom`s look a lot like PTSD. The issue is that the person was given by one of the formost Doctors in the country ZOLOFT which worked but after 3 months the effects kinda came back.

But the QUESTION is can PTSD ,which by psychotherapist who is also, a clinical psychologist agrees that the have a lot of symptoms in that area can it be cured with antipsychotics?

The symptoms are from a lot of diasses like OCD, sometimes beeing bipolar more times depressed but rearely in a couple of months I see the person get a huge rush of energy and extremly happy euphoric that could be a manic behaviour I guess.


So can PTSD be cured by antipsychotics when can someone expect a full recovery what are some good sign`s that the Illness is behind them.

treating PTSD (nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, anxiety and so forth...) is individualized.

for some talking with a therapist is all thats needed
for others its a sleep aid or antidepressant or antipsychotic or a combination of all..

what treats a persons PTSD depends upon many factors like what the trauma was, what a persons own health issues are, what a persons cultural background is and much more goes into diagnosing and treating PTSD.

we can not say whether the zoloft in your post will help who ever its been prescribed for and why. only their own treatment provider can answer why zoloft was prescibed.

my suggestion if this is you that was prescribed the zoloft talk with your treatment providers. they will explain why it was prescribed and so forth.

also if you google that medications you will find that it is common to precribe zoloft for PTSD problems.

“NICE, France — Adding the antipsychotic risperidone (Risperdal, Janssen) to standard antidepressant therapy significantly improves outcomes in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) without causing additional adverse effects, new research suggests.Mar 5, 2018
Medscape › Antipsychotic Promising for PTSD, Anxiety - Medscape”

I found this for you showing there has been positive results for it.

Personally, I have possible complex PTSD and am on neither antidepressants or antipsychotics, only anti anxiety meds.
