Yes. Every body/brain is different. I am one of those people who are typically chemically sensitive so me and pharmaceuticals do not get along. I've tried dozens of medications and even supplements and most don't work well for me or the side effects are unbearable. I also feel that most of my depression and anxiety stem off of my PTSD and I don't think drugs can cure trauma. I have suffered with dissociation most of my life, it is really scary. For me, the best thing I've found is to just breathe. Box breathing. Grounding exercises. Therapy. Self-soothing. Etc. Just ways to get back into my body and to stimulate the vagus nerve and try to re-regulate and calm my overtaxed nervous system.
