I can only state what I know. I was already in SF. Still, I would be honest. They did not know about this PTSD in 1969. They damn sure would not load up any SF officer or NCO with antidepressants and/or tranquilizers. Ativan is serious crap. Try to get off of it. Run and exercise. Stay physically tired, not mentally tired. This Army today is sold on PTSD and mental crap.

Roger on that .. I made them taper me off the Ativan cause after two months on it I felt like a zombie .. exercise is hard, I spent a lot of time laid up in the hospital bed so now I'm more focused on walking 10 times around the track than trying to run 6 min miles again, but I'm getting there. I agree the Army overdoes this whole PTSD thing, and I think a lot of soldiers here play into to get med boarded out and such. I just want all of this crap to go away.
