Study Summary

The purpose of the proposed study is to determine if pairing reactivation of a traumatic memory with a single administration of Rapamycin (e.g., Sirolimus) in men with combat-related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder leads to a reduction of the emotional strength of that particular traumatic memory. The following hypotheses will be tested: 1. Traumatic memory reactivation paired with a single dose of Rapamycin will decrease objective measures of stress and self-report of stress during replay of the traumatic memory, relative to, subjects receiving placebo. 2. Pairing administration of Rapamycin with traumatic memory reactivation will decrease symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder one month and three months later, relative to patients receiving placebo.

Primary Outcome

Clinician administered interview which assesses the symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress disorder at baseline, and then again 1 month posttreatment. The CAPS is a 25 item semi-structured interview that assesses the 17 DSM-IV PTSD criteria as well as social and occupational impairment. For each item the participant can respond with a rating of 0-8 (with 0 indicating no symptom severity and frequency and 8 indicating extreme symptom severity and frequency). The range of total scores on a CAPS is from
