5. Have you attended any 12 step meeting? AA perhaps?

Going to the meetings reinforces the strength of recovery. Recovery can be fragile. Try some meetings in addition to taking the medication. The meetings helped me stay alive through lengthy withdrawal. By meeting with people who have the same problem, it helps us to know we are not alone in dealing with this. At the meetings they will suggest a "higher power"...Pick a calming idea as a HP. The peace in the forest on a beautiful quiet day can be it...Whatever .....

I wish you the best of luck in recovery. If one meeting doesn't work, go to another or another. We need every single resource in order to beat this enemy..addiction and PTSD. Please consider adding this resource to your recovery. Of course, stay on the medication as long as your doctor recommends. Just add another tool to fight the disease. We need all the tools that are available..

and.........Best of Luck...Today and Everyday....Hang in There..!!!!! and Congratulations on Great Progress!!!!!
Just for today, we can get through this...!!!!!!
