Hello Rex,



The way I was diagnosed was from 9/11 and also from many scenes I have been
on and the issues I was exposed to.



They changed me from paxil to lexapro because I was too tired all the time.



Thanks


Rich

Subject: [EMS Fire Police PTSD] Secondary Stress!!! and Labeling of
Diagnosis



Has anyone within this group ever been diagnosed as having secondary stress
at anytime. If so how did you and/or your therapist come to that diagnosis?

Also several years ago I was dx'd as having depression, however having only
the VA to see for now they know of my ongoing situation with dealing with
9-11 issues and other medical issues, but refuse to list any other diagnosis
that have been presented that was a result with my involvement with EMS and
Emergency Response. Is anyone going or has anyone gone through the same
problems as myself?

Rex
