Geis - Thank you for your support. I'm just starting 4mg a day and hopeful it will help.

GeminiNZ - Thanks for the detailed share. Here is mine. Maybe it will help someone. While I haven't remembered my nightmares in years - my body wakes up in state of total flight/fright for months. Nightmares I remember from first day on Prazosin where same ones or same theme from years past. But since then back to state of flight/fright/terror with no memory when I wake. I've been going through so much, and so many triggers, lately.

I know my mind is trying to protecting me. But I'd prefer to remember the nightmares. Waking up in such a state of terror with no reason makes things worst. Then my body remains there most of day, days, weeks... Another morning - same terror

As with you Holidays approaching worst time ever. I've always been in control until now. Realized I had PTSD, but never sought help out of fear until mom passed. My mom passed away this year. Brother is mentally ill and went missing. Well I made mistake of contacting our father to see if he went there. Let's just say some people don't change - even though they think they have. My body has been in shock/terror ever since. Not to de-grade abuse of any kind or level, but doc says it was extreme (daily fear of death of family and myself. Says I was terrorized.)

A quote by Buddha now makes so much since. It goes something like "The mind knows - The body remembers"
