[personal profile] erika posting in [community profile] who_needs_sleep
I wanted to post a quick blurb here to mention that my psychiatrist put me on prazosin for PTSD-nightmares.

I went from waking up every [attempt at sleep] after sleeping for less than two hours to being able to get my normal 9-12 hours again. I highly encourage checking it out and considering bringing this up with your doctor if nightmares are a problem for you, especially ones related to PTSD.

I haven't had any problems with hangovers, which I think can be attributed to the fact that prazosin has a very short halflife. It does kick in REALLY QUICKLY so my psychiatrist recommended taking the first dose while already literally in bed, but it's been such a relief!
