[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 621008, member: 1967"] Well, all, I have finally given up the good fight. All of these years I felt like I could handle whatever came my way without medications. However, my therapist thinks that I have PTSD and thinks that I could use a short term medication to help me through this. So she had me sign up for an online consultation with a nurse practitioner that could prescribe medications. The nurse practitioner lives in California. Whoever thought you could do something like that online? We used Go to Meeting to talk. The nurse said she wanted me to try Celexa. She said that she thought I needed it more for the anxiety part than the depression part and it would only be short term. She said anyone would be stressed going through something like this. She also said to cut off all money as of this moment. She said it was time for difficult child to take care of herself and that included if she decided to go to rehab and sober living. The nurse said that we have gone the route of helping her with rehab and sober living twice and now it has to be done a different way. She said it was obvious that my difficult child has no desire to be sober at this time. The hardest part was hearing her say that addiction has a higher death rate than breast cancer and we had to prepare ourselves for that very real possibility. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
