How it works
Reduces amygdala hyperreactivity and intrusive memory processing through serotonergic modulation. May also improve sleep and reduce hypervigilance.
Prescription only. Medications treat symptoms but do not process trauma — most guidelines recommend trauma-focused therapy as primary treatment with medications as adjunct. Paroxetine and sertraline have the most evidence.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.
