I've been doing good about not having these as often but now I can't seem to control them at all. I don't take prazosin anymore, so that's not really an option. Is there any natural option to take here? I smoke but it has never helped me sleep unless baked into granola. The caffeine isn't helping me sleep, either (just makes me groggy). Alcohol isn't even working here and it usually gets me a couple hours, now I can't even get a minute. I don't know if my anxiety is just that high lately because of moving and having to leave my job or what. I've also felt sick non-stop for over a month now and the doctor still hasn't figured out what's wrong. He wants to do a PET scan to see if my cancer's relapsed. Could all of this be making the nightmares/insomnia worse?

I take 25mg of seroquel to help me sleep, its the only thing that will give me a full night's sleep.
I just realized that PTSD anxiety is not normal anxiety, PTSD is a severe anxiety disorder, I can't even relate to normal anxiety.
So, I would say your anxiety is just that high because you have PTSD.
