[quote=Anonymous]I haven't been able to stop it completely. I have had some success with Cymbalta (an SNRI), but I'd say it only cut the noise and hyperfixation down by 75% or so, and it only worked for a couple of years before the efficacy wore off. I'm in therapy now talking about the traumas that led to my PTSD and triggers and although it is a relief to talk about it all and processing it is going to help me in many ways, I can tell you that my triggers and hyperfixating are probably not going to end. I did a course of EMDR therapy and it was somewhat effective, but the benefits were fleeting. I'd say 6-8 months later, I was back to my baseline of anxiety and difficulty dealing with triggers. But YMMV, it is worth a try if you can find someone (I had a hard time finding a qualified therapist--they all seem to have waitlists, in the DMV anyway). EMDR is not the magic bullet for everyone.
