PTSD nightmares.

5. Would you consider taking Prazosin?

If you have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), your body may release too much adrenaline. Adrenaline is a hormone that can make you feel stressed and have nightmares.

Prazosin blocks some of the effects of adrenaline released in your body. This may help reduce the nightmares and sleep problems you have with PTSD.

Why It Is Used

By keeping you from having nightmares, prazosin may help you get better sleep. With better sleep, you can feel healthier and more alert. This may help lower your stress and help you feel more in control of your life.

How Well It Works

Research shows that prazosin may help reduce nightmares, one of the symptoms of PTSD.1 More research is needed to confirm its effectiveness for treating PTSD.

Side Effects

Side effects include:

Low blood pressure (hypotension).
A slow heart rate (bradycardia).
A cough or wheezing, which means the airways that carry air to the lungs are narrowing (bronchospasm).
Thinking and acting more slowly.
Stuffy nose, headache, and swelling in the legs. These are rare side effects.

I know how disruptive nightmares can be, I hope you are able to find a solution. I use CDs with positive messages and that works for me, but I don't have PTSD related nightmares.
