Looking for advice on PTSD medication

I was just diagnosed with PTSD a few months ago by my primary care doctor. What medications help with this condition?

Anti anxiety meds help there are some that are relatively mild and safe then others like benzodiazepines that are harsher and you wouldnt want to take if you have genetic predisposition to addictions. There are sleep medications that can help but Id be weary of minnipress/prazosin that I havent seen one person whove spoken on it say it helped. Idk why its recommended. I hated it. If you can get genetic testing done (not every doc offers) it can guide you into which meds can help and which ones wont based on your genetics.

I'm not on many meds for it but I find that Klonopin/Clonazepam helps curb the anxiety and helps with flashbacks
