That doesnt surprise me Brian, its been known for some time that some commonly prescribed anti depressants actually increase the rate of suicide amongst all groups. A close family member of mine attempted suicide after being prescribed anti depressants and a work colleague and good friend committed suicide last year also after being prescribed anti depressants.

Depends on how widely they were proscribed.

Anti depressant are one of the most widely prescribed group of drugs and are commonly prescribed for PTS.

I am aware of that. I wonder if they are as widely proscribed to service people.

I believe they are. I know a couple of people who have been taking them. Mixed results from my own laymans observations. Undecided

There are no special separate medications for service people who have PTS. They are prescribed the exact same medications as the rest of us. I would advise extreme caution to anyone who is prescribed anti depressants, I threw my scripts in the bin. As a point, although I myself do not use illegal substances, with the advent of legalisation of Marijuana in the US there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that many ex service people are having a lot more success alleviating PTS with specific varieties of that particular previously illegal drug. The US has a lot of war Vets and from what I have seen they do not look after them very well

An old mate went on one of those and he went off the deep end, his doc changed it, fortunately.

I prescribe a quiet life in a quiet environment and no stress. Takes a while.
