Drug Could be the First to Effectively Treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

So I was searching for any sort of drug to ease the effects of PTSD, and this is what I have found.

Although the drug does not "erase" memories it may ease the effect of those memories in the future. Post traumatic stress syndrome affects the future, just as it does the present. It is a long term illness, and the effects can be devastating on daily life.

Propranolol is a drug that was developed in the 1950s indicated as a treatment for hypertension. Further research has concluded that propranolol is the new experimental wonder drug that is able to cease the effects of post traumatic stress syndrome while inhibiting the completion of a painful memory.

Propranolol inhibits the production of adrenaline - adrenaline aids in the solidification of a memory. If a memory is unable to be engraved in your mind - than you may not be have the effects of post traumatic stress disorder. That is, if the drug is administered close to the stressful event. Research has shown new insight on the way that post traumatic stress disorder affects our brains. It was found that if propranolol was administered immediately after a traumatic event.

If this is true at all, it could be a very big developement. I know many people suffer from this devastating illness, as well as me. I am always looking for a way to ease the pain, and if this truly works, who else out there will try this drug?
