I started trauma therapy and duloxetine in April. I had terrible night sweats and nightmares and it made me feel dizzy all the time. I almost passed out from low blood pressure a few times. I changed to sertraline for June-September. I have had terrible nightmares and flashbacks when I am sleeping with bad night sweats. Before the medication I didn’t suffer nightmares like this. They are so vivid. I changed to Lexapro and I have been on it for a week now. I had some days where I felt manic, and other days where I feel normal. I know it’s early but is it possible the antidepressants are making my ptsd symptoms worse? I also have been doing trauma therapy off and on. This all started because I had side pain... anyone else question the use of medication and whether it makes things worse? Or is this just processing...
