Grounding can help distract you from flashbacks, but nightmares are really tough. My therapist has me write out my nightmares and read them over and over so I get use to them and then rewrite them so they are less terrifying. I still have a long way to go. Have you ask your doctor about it? There are other meds out there. I hope you can find a solution that helps. Best wishes.

I just stopped taking prazosin because my night terrors have finally stopped for now. When i first starting taking it it didnt work so great. It took increasing the dosage , taking the prazosin with an anti anxiety med and a sleep med at night, and adding a supplement of amino acid that has cognitive effects, N- Acetyl Ceistine.. Also, starting a daily gratuity and daily meditation may have helped also. Good luck

Lunarevent, I'm on prazosin but in my case it's working for me. What I do in addition to meds at night for my nightmares is pretty corny, but it works enough times a week that I keep doing it. I turn on the tv in my bedroom at bedtime and replay a rerun of a favorite tv show, usually a comedy and not a drama. It seems that works sort of as suggestion to my subconscious mind before sleep.

Hi Launarevent,
That is hard because I get them sometimes. I was told that it is part of PTSD and that therapy will help. I read some great suggestions from Secouya, Eveergren and Mujacaptsd. Hope that it will get better for you. Proud of you that you are reaching out and asking.

Hope last night was better for you, LunarEvent. It was for me, so I thought of you, too.
