Does Prazosin Help with PTSD Nightmares and Flashes?

@packersfan95 I've just started on 1mg yesterday and if it doesn't improve in 2 weeks to go up to two. I know it can't possibly work immediately but I did sleep a little more last Which could have been since I was up for almost 2 days. Or lowered my good pressure enough to relax me to sleep a bit more. Still nightmares? Sleeping thru the night would also be amazing! Last time I was on it I was at 7mg. So it may take a while before I can! I'm gonna continue working I my sleep hygiene and take and clean my browser. Thanks!

@Harli that is so good to hear! I'm very glad it works for you. That gives me some hope. Even if it works for one person, then it has the potential to work for someone else! Thank you for sharing!

@Aaronb03 to know the who had it work! That ha refreshing! Oo never thought about music playing lol. I'm hoping I make it to phase of my job.

@Juno_J I'm glad it works sometimes! Were you one to also take a low dose during the day too? Have you ever taken it without trazodone?

@cheerAsh0485 did you start at the lowest strength too? Do you feel it makes you tired during the day of hard to get up in the morning?

@Yuley I haven't heard of that med being used, good to know! And thanks for sharing. All great info. I will discuss whether there are ain't terms. How did you get ever get rid of it in your life? I hope nobody feels like no one cares until I moved!

@SalineTurnip do you mind me asking your dose? If you don't want to that's cool took. Bc I think I got up to 7mg my last time but I'm reading they start you at 1mg but also read an effective dose is at least 16mg to 25mg. I partially feel like it might have been a little effective. But if I'm remembering correctly I think it is similar to you. I think it helped a few nights a week.i think that might be why I stopped taking it. But at this point even one night with like 4 consecutive hours of sleep would be heaven. Bc I get at best 3 hrs at night, broken up in 45 min to hour-long chunks but have recently been getting just under 2 hrs a night the last 1.5 weeks. And I'm fine during the day bc I'm on the highest don't of Vyvanse (a stimulant) but sleep sounds so relaxing. My mind and body are in desperate need of some rest! Lol. Idk know if my psych would even go for it. But your experience is helpful! Thanks for sharing!

@SecondChance I have a history of substance abuse lol, otherwise weed would be my go-to. I'm also on Prozac, which is one of my miracle drugs for sure. Is your Prozac just for PTSD? Or also comorbid disorders? You don't have to tell me what they are, just curious now effective its been. Prozac helped me a lot with my OCD/anxiety and also evened out my bipolar mood episodes/depression.
