Prazosin was tried one night only, had excessive palpitations and rapid breathing, like a panic attack, apparently it has cardio side effects in patients who use an existing BP Med, I use Lisonipril 40 mg. for unstable BP. I have gone back to my old stand by, Prozac and raised my Seroquel. I feel I am leveling out. I have really, really learned so much from hyperfocus and I thank you for taking the time to post such informative, well thought out posts. Thank you. I will do some more research on prazosin and discuss with my psychiatrist next week. Maybe it would work to take in the morning and switch Lisonipril to bedtime? Does it have to be taken at night to have an effect on nightmares? Seroquel gives me vivid dreams they just don't seem to be night terrors. The goal for now is to make my mind rest and let me find peace within. And yes, I do need to work on being more positive, and I am working on that. Having CPTSD is such a new research area in my opinion and most Drs. are ignorant to the causes, triggers and prognosis. BPD is almost always a hand in hand companion with CPTD in my opinion, and having life long melancholia and anxiety just makes living an effort, not a happy opportunity, and the stigma sucks.
