[|Human|] I have used Xanax for my PTSD and it has helped me over the years. I have had this condition for over 10 years. The VA does not approve of this as a treatment and wants to put me on Zolof instead. I am against anti depressants since the effect libido. Xanax has worked just fine. My PTSD has gotten worse over time with added stress. I want to stay on Xanax since it lessons my anxiety problems with are caused by ptsd. What do you think.
[|AI|]  HellomYou are right to continue with Xanax for the problems and not shift to Zoloft as it can give sexual dysfunction. But, also look at the worsening symptoms of PTSD and consider the ineffectiveness of dosage of Xanax to handle it. Moreover, Xanax will never treat PTSD.it is just postponing the effect and finally, this is getting bad with time... There are other safe choices-paroxetine - which is good in your case. It is a molecule which is used to manage sexual dysfunction caused by other meds or otherwise And it is also an antianxiety med. So, you can try this out and get rid of Xanax, treat PTSD properly and without fear of having side effects. I hope you got the point, please discuss it with your treating team. Wish you good luck.
