Response to the Consensus Statement of the PTSD Psychopharmacology Working Group

We are writing in response to the Letter to the Editor by John Krystal and colleagues, entitled “It is Time to Address the Crisis in the Pharmacotherapy of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Consensus Statement of the PTSD Psychopharmacology Working Group" (1). This timely research statement pointed out some of the barriers to translating a wealth of PTSD research into effective pharmacologica l strategies. The group didn’t review all potential agents currently being assessed for PTSD, thus the addition of two promising candidates – cannabis and MDMA - would make this report more comprehensive.
