LSD might be worth trying depending on the severity of your PTSD (note that it is used alongside psychotherapy).

EFT (emotional freedom technique) healed 16 young males of PTSD after only 1 session (of 1 hour)
CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) and EMDR (eye movement desensitizing and reprocessing) had similar effects to EFT (though much less studies done on them).

Another study had 32% reduction (158 particapants) but the participants weren't chosen for having PTSD symptoms. Worked about 10% better in older patients than younger ones.
Another study in veterans had 48% effectiveness
A meta analysis showed that CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) and EMDR (eye movement desensitizing and reprocessing) had similar effects to EFT.

MDMA with therapy cured 67% of people (these were people who didn't respond to talk therapy treatment (see below (emotional freedom technique))
3 90 minute preparatory sessions to establish a connection between therapist and client followed by 2 8 hour session while taking 30mg or 75mg or 125mg MDMA at the start of the 8 hour session followed by half that dose given again 1.5 to 2 hours into the session, they than stayed the night onsite and recieved phone phone contact for 7 days along with 3 more 90 minute sessions aimed at integrating the experince. Overall, a course of treatment included 18 h of non-drug psychotherapy and 16–24 h (2–3 sessions) of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. 75mg was most effective (more than 125mg and way more than 30mg) (the two sessions were spaced 1 month apart). Results were tested for a month after the last 8 hour session.
