Came across this article, thought it had the potential to be helpful for many.
Cliff Notes version: PTSD symptoms can be caused by malaria drug.

PTSD - a new vector

PTSD is not a disease you can just cure pills or get from pills duh
^ No you can in fact completely cure PTSD with pills if you take enough of the right kind to be stoned out of your mind 24/7.
However in the article it mentioned a thiamine deficiency which in itself can cause permanent brain damage, which a pill will not correct but could at least alleviate some of the symptoms and allow the person to lead a more productive life if a balance can be met where they are not taking a larger dose than needed, while most of these drugs are addictive so escalating dosage is a normal problem.
The article did say that the malarial medication CAN cause PTSD-like symptoms...not a certainty but this isn't the first time that one person had a sensitivity to something that others did not.
Perhaps this will help someone here that may have PTSD symptoms, they can look into it for relief.

As I 100% P&T disabled veteran diagnosed with PTSD, I really wish the VA would get behind medical marijuana.
I take Bupropion 300mg/day. It doesn't take away the anxiety, but it makes me not care.

PTSD affects many others besides veterans.
