Hi,
I've been gone a lot. I've been fulltime caregiving for my mom, whose brain cancer has become inoperable and has occasional dementia (much better since on Namenda XR, FWIW)...
Has anyone taken prazosin for nightmares? I have PTSD on my diagnosis list now, although it looks a lot closer to C-PTSD which didn't make it into the DSM.
It seemed 1mg at bedtime of prazosin really like, took away the nightmares at first, but now I still have them, particularly towards waking.
What's the typical dose? Would increasing the dose help? Anyone taken an extended release version?
Other symptoms: Depression is so-so and anxiety is high. I think it's related to caregiving and moving back to an area of the country which trigger traumatic memories. Head STILL above water though.
