From Deborah Crowe:

Re: How fear memories take hold (July 16): Any help for sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder is good. Yet I believe we should be wary of drug use when there is a known thearapy that has proven to be effective.

As a long time victim of PTSD, I can tell you that Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR -- see www.emdr.com) has been extremely helpful in easing my suffering. I hope you will share the research surrounding EMDR so that others may find relief.
