Dealing with Night Terrors

I have nightmares anywhere from just really strange in a creepy way, to just scary when I'm really stressed.

yes! not always but sometimes. especially when feeling upset or out of control or during a big change! prazocin as needed helps :)

**My doctor told me it has been used and tested in soldiers with PTSD and has proven to be a useful.

What really helped me was a medication called Minipress...it's a blood pressure medication, but used in smaller daily/nightly doses, can help alleviate sleep-related effects of PTSD, including the nightmares and flashbacks. It helped me. Hope you can find relief. :)

So i havent been diagnosed with night terrors, but i have a range of sleep disorders and screaming in my sleep. It started getting worse the older I got or if I am under stress

I have night terrors every night even though it's been a couple of years. I don't think it's ever going to go away. 😕

Yeah. I still get horrible nightmares about my trauma despite it having been years ago. No amount of therapy or drugs have seemed to truly help it.

Diphenhydramine

I take difenhyromine n trazadone I still have the but not as much.

I get them on the regular, yeah ... I've been told to try lucid dreaming, but I haven't given it a shot yet, so I can't say whether or not it'll work.

Yes, I still get night terrors. It’s so frustrating cause it’s like we lose control when in sleep mode. It’s terrifying how strong it feels like reality, where stories shape around our triggers and fears etc. I’ve been struggling with this topic a lot recently. But through this craziness, I just hope you feel less alone, we are all in this together. ❤️
