Silexan in the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Trial

Participants in the Silexan arm will take two over-encapsulated capsules, each containing 80 mg Silexan, daily orally in the morning in addition to their usual medications. No modifications of allocated interventions will be made for any trial participants; if appropriate (i.e following the emergence of adverse events) participants will be withdrawn from the intervention.

Participants in the placebo arm will take two capsules containing an inert placebo daily orally in the morning in addition to their usual medications. The placebo capsules will contain a sub-therapeutic amount of lavender oil to mimic the odor of the experimental drug (Silexan).
