My main problem was daytime stuff anyway, not so much the nightmares, and in my case for whatever reason the doctor seemed reluctant to prescribe it other than just low doses before bed. Give propanolol a try if you haven't already.Thanks for the info bear, it is much appreciated. I'm very leery of propranolol b/c I've been on it in the past (when my depression was under control, oh those were the days!) but it actually made me very depressed. Maybe though, with Ritalin on board, it would have less of a negative effect on my mood. I'll see what my pdoc says. Thanks again.
