Greetings.
There is a med called "Prazocyn," which is truly hateful to pronouce well, that was shown to help vets dealing with nightmares from ptsd.
I believe it blocks alpha waves? beta waves? that bring recurring, emotional, flashback, trauma nightmares!
It's freaking cool! I've been on this med for a couple of years, and then was off for about 6 months, when I asked to go back on it.
This med actually stopped my trauma nightmares. It's also like being on vacation; not having freaking, recurrent visions of the dang dream for hours afterwards.
I thought I'd mention it! :) If your doctor knows about it, and if you're able to take it, may help, eh. :)
Now I just have regular, scary, crappy, bad dreams where there's like creepy things and scary stuff!!! It's so much better than the emotional drag of the trauma nightmares though. (Usually me trying to explain something logically to people that don't care.)
/love
