I got meds for nightmares.

I can't take it anymore.

Doc says they work within a day or two. I have to do some research, I don't like taking meds. I haven't had a good experience with meds ever, but I've never tried anything for nightmares.

I can manage stress/pain during the day, but it needs to eff off my sleep because it keeps making everything worse.

What med is it? (If you feel comfortable sharing)

@itsok Prazosin. Like SageWanderer. I'm hoping it helps.

@ScreamingFox I’m also on prazosin, and it has helped. I still dream, but when I wake up from my dreams I’m completely calm.
I don’t think I had ever experienced waking up calm before. Are you starting on 1mg?

@itsok yes 1mg. I'm tempted to break them in half at first but I should probably call the doc. I have so much anxiety about meds 😅

It's very reassuring to hear it helps. I'm so glad it works for you. Waking up calm sounds like, a dream...
