Prescribing Trends in US Active Duty Service Members With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Population-Based Study From 2007-2013.

CONCLUSIONS: The increase in SSRI or SNRI prescribing after 2010 and the overall increase in prazosin and decrease in low-dose quetiapine prescribing all suggest increased concordance with the VA/DoD PTSD Clinical Practice Guidelines. The decline in SSRI prescribing up to 2010 is not concordant. The increase in benzodiazepine prescribing, a trend opposite that observed in the VA, is concerning. PMID: 29985565 [PubMed - in process]
