They have slowly kept switching mine around. With the VA, I'm now on 300mg of Effexor (150mg taken twice a day). My my hyperanxiety, I take 2mg of Prazosin in the morning and 5mg at night. I'm also on an APAP and Ambien.

Wow...hang in there man. I can only imagine what you're going through, but in alot of ways, I feel exactly the same. I chose not to fight my IPEB and just want to retire and get the he!! out. I can no longer fight the battle...my mental and physical stamina are gone.

There were several things not listed in my mental health NARSUM. Based on what was, I don't meet the definition for combat related.

Yes, that and along with talking to friends of mine who have gone through the process and actually finding out why the AF didn't include combat related on my PTSD. I got 10% for my back and 10% for my knee.

Well, an update to the update. I have decided to non-concur with the IPEB and go to the FPEB to get my combat related diagnosis. I didn't realize that the FPEB was held within 40-45 days. I think I can handle the wait for another month or so.

OK, I think my will to keep fighting is over. Even though I have a diagnosis of combat related PTSD, right in my mental health NARSUM, the IPEB didn't rate me with that. I've asked if it was an oversight and I was told that I should non-concur and go to the FPEB. I just don't think I have the...

Jason....question for you. I got my IPEB results back last week as you know recommending TDRL for PTSD and 2 other items. In my mental health NARSUM, it was listed in plain sight in my Axis I - chronic PTSD, combat related. When my AF Form 356 comes back, there's no mention of combat related...

Bev...hope you get the news you're expecting when you go to see the results.

Congrats on that! Hoping you get that envelope soon!! I'll be starting the same thing myself here real soon since I was notified on Friday of my TDRL placement. I just need to make sure something is corrected from an oversight before I accept/concur. Then I get to start the Quick Start...

Ahhh, so they put the screws to ya on that one. Have you found out if the IPEB office received your paperwork?

Ahh, hang in there bud. I wasn't expecting the phone call at 1530 yesterday. Of course I made my way right over to my MEB office to find out the results. Had I done more reserach, I would have known in advance that I would come back with a TDRL recommendation. Anyway, I'm sure you'll be...

Thanks Jason! I'm just happy to finally have the answer. I can handle going to see a doc every 18 months until they move me to the PDRL.

Results are in!! Well, not what I really wanted, but they said TDRL @ 60%. Now I need to see how all of that will play out. I really don't want to fight the battle. According to my MEB office, they haven't seen anyone with a PTSD diagnosis come back right away on the PDRL.

Best of luck on the move back to WA!

Been quiet on our side....guess noone else has gotten any results.

Congrats on the the new ptrick!!

Hopefully things will start moving for me now. I was just assigned a care manager with the AF Wounder Warrior Center.

Thanks for that bit of info. I haven't contacted the rep on base yet, but did speak directly with AFW2 at Randolph.

Has anyone had any dealings with the Air Force Wounded Warrior Center? I just made sure my info made it to them since I do have a diagnosed combat related injury.

You're quite welcome.
