Glenn,

Clonidine is an antihypertensive drug. It's sometimes used for posttraumatic stress and attention deficit/hyperactivity as well. In people with PTSD, it can help to suppress nightmares. There are a lot of drugs that can do this; another common treatment for serious nightmare problems is to take a benzodiazepine (e.g., Klonopin, Valium, Tranxene) at bedtime.
