As far as medications for nightmares, there is one medication,
which is called prazosin, which has proven to be
very, very effective in preventing traumatic nightmares.
Prazosin works in a way that takes into account
the brain mechanisms that are responsible for
dreaming and nightmares in the first place,
and it blocks those mechanisms so that people can have
a good night's sleep without the nightmares.
It's a very powerful medication, very few side effects,
and there is evidence that it may be effective
for full PTSD symptoms as well.
