Hi, My husband is a veteran and suffers from PTSD. He has been prescribed trazodone, cymbalta, clonidine, and seroquel. Will these meds help him? His biggest problem are his flashbacks. Is there a medication that he can talk to his doctor about in regaurds to sopping the flashbacks from happening?

Hello,
I dont think this much of medicines are required for PTSD.
Secondly, there are no medications which are direclty helpful for flashbacks specifically. Tablet INDERAL has been found to be useful in some cases.
Please discus this with your treating doctor.
Thanks.
