Last year, I began having very disturbing nightmares which I knew were related to past trauma. I took low-dose Prazosin at bed-time, combined with on-going psychotherapy. The dreams cleared up right away on Prazosin, and after 10 months, I was able to discontinue Prazosin without the nightmares recurring -presumably because of longer-term help from the therapy.

I mentioned this because you have described several sources of trauma, including your mother's very difficult illness and death, as well as more recent interpersonal trauma in your family and marriage. Personally, I am not a big medication-user (tianeptine and maintenance TMS only) but I am very glad I gave Prazosin a try.

I have Scott to thank for helping my pdoc be willing to give me Prazosin!
