Accepted Answer

Dissociation: There are no great drugs for treatment of dissociation. Prazosin has been found to help with PTSD nightmares and overall sxs in veterans and has the most data to support.

The real treatment is psychotherapy, like DBT with experiential therapies like psychodrama or creative art therapies. It is treatable!

What works for you!: There are many medications for crohn's disease because none of them work for everyone and they all have side effects.  Each patient is matched with the medication most likely to work with the least side effects.  Medications often need to be changed.  Steroids are often used to gain initial control but then removed when longer acting drugs with fewer side effects can take over.

Accepted Answer

: Your medication needs to be managed by a Psychiatrist. If you are not confident in your Dr. please see another for a 2nd opinion. Medication alone may not be enough. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help. A complete physical exam would show if your symptoms are due to a physical illness. You may need a sleep study prescribed by a Dr.
