So - my sleep is good for a few hours, then I'm up for a few hours, then I doze for a few hours. No nightmares since I started the prazosin though.
I had a cat like that when I was in my 20's that did that .. I was like OK for the first few nights then I was like Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stop it as he was just being a jerk lol

Prazosin helped with some of my PTSD nightmares but dropped my blood pressure too low for most nights so we flipped to Tenex , I dont think after a while it helped and I quit that along with other meds a year ago march, Ive not tried it again , yet.... maybe Ill pull it out and see if it helps anything again..

Hows the new job going???
