How do you know the Prazosin is working for PTSD nightmares/flashes? I was on it before when I was having a particularly difficult time with my PTSD. I don't remember how it worked or really much of that time period. I'm on a lower dose now about 8ish years later after being off of it for 6ish years. I don't know if it is working. What does it “working” feel like?

Sleeping through the night and feeling positive during the day were my indicators.
I can relate to that a lot. I find that it is difficult to know if its helping with nightmares. I typically say if it helped me sleep longer or more restful, then I think it helps. I dont really know how to gauge the dream side of it.

@Kingswife that makes sense. Now that you say that, I am finally getting more sleep, it is kind of annoying. I went from like 2 hrs to 4.5 hrs a night. Which is a good thing. Except when you're used to going to be at 3am and waking up at 5:30. It was working for me, then again. Sleep is a good thing, as long as I can function lol.

One user mentioned that when Prazosin works for them, they experience a decrease in the intensity of their nightmares but not necessarily the frequency. Another user shared that they haven't had a PTSD nightmare in years after finding the right dosage of Prazosin. However, it's important to note that individual experiences may vary, and it's crucial to consult with your psychiatrist to determine if the medication is working effectively for you.
