in PTSD, the treatment is psychotherapy (individual or group) and symptom-directed drugs (TCAs, MAOIs, SSRIs, B-blockers, depending on the symptoms). Source: Psychiatry, blueprints.

you´re welcome drkpp! I have reviewed more and i think the key word in Pharmacologic tx in PTSD is SYMPTOM-DIRECTED (First Aid also includes benzodiazepines, even lithium in some cases. So yes, you could use benzodiazepines but they aren´t first line) drugs. But the most demonstrated in studies are 1) SSRIs; and in 2nd place) MAOIs, and TCAs. I hope to be clear .
