I've suffered a ton of abuse (physical, emotional, sexual), been raped and had someone try to kill me.

Since I have so many nightmares where I wake up in a cold sweat and freaked out, she decided to try me on Prazosin. It's what she gives to the PTSD vets.

I've only just started it today, so I don't know what to expect.

I sure hope it works because I don't sleep very well.
I was on it for about 6 months and I still have a partial prescription in my cupboard. I really liked it, I slept well and no nightmares at all. I stopped taking after exposure therapy was put on pause and thus far, no nightmares.
