re: My Son is struggling with PTSD Update page 7

I’ve struggled with PTSD for years. It’s really hard to talk about because you don’t WANT to talk about/ re-live it.

Sounds like your son is having night terrors and I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy.

During therapy I learned that the horrible nightmares I was having were actually called night terrors and, thankfully, there was a medication for it.
Prazosin was like a miracle drug for me and night terrors. Maybe this would help him?

There is a type of therapy for PTSD that’s called EMDR and it’s effective in my experience- the problem is finding a clinician that specializes in it.

I just said a prayer for your son. My heart goes out to him. It will never go away but it’s not as bad now as it was 23 years ago.

I hope you get other helpful responses here.
