Prazosin Raised From Four To Six

[sonicwhite]

Ok, folks the doctor I saw was the head psych doctor and he decided it was best to raise the prazosin
To six. Now last night I took three just to test the waters and I was in like this twilight sleep. I would wake up like every hour and smoke a cig then go back to this light sleep. I enjoyed it but I didn't get the rem sleep I needed and they said I looked tired which I was and still am.



So how is six mg treating those who take prazosin? Just curious.

I think I am due for an increase in dosage. I don't think the waking up like that had anything to do with the prazosin.

Hmmm, I just think six mg of prazosin wouldn't put me in REM sleep or I was just alert and didn't want to fall into a deep sleep. Their deciding to take me off sonata. I hardly use it anyways. And wanting to try to see if I can get to sleep on my own without something.


For the last eight yrs I've needed something to help me sleep. The psychosis he said it def PTSD and he said that not getting the help I need just furthered screwed in the nail and it's going to take therapy and psych doctors to help me.



I have to listen to them. She said do something once a day. Ppl with depression need structure, because they will just lay in bed. They knew off the bat something was going on. The pdoc took me more seriously and said what I am describing would traumatize anyone. So all in all I have my PTSD diagnoses but I really just want to hammer out a plan that will help me gain some of my life back.

Last night I ended up on the couch. Don't remember any of it. Didn't take anything but what I usually do. I woke up and to my surprise I was comfortable, and Ben my dog was barking. I was like wth? How did I get here? I did dream however but I don't remember what it was about. All in all it was just really weird sleep walking and ending up on the couch.

Had a vision that I was in a Hospital and a nuke went off. I could see the mushroom cloud it made. I woke up and said God fine, if these are visions of what's going to take place I'm glad I'm blessed to see it so I can warn others.

I have always been called to ministry. God chastised me in 05. The psychosis aroused my curiosity to know God. When I have my life to Him I felt the pull to ministry. I'm glad not anxious that God chose me just like He chose Peter. It makes me feels special and that's ok. God made it possible to say you are valued to God and He loves you very much.

When I tried to commit suicide in 05 I didn't work. But God thru His compassion gave me a chance to be something. Something special. I know a lot of ppl here don't believe in God. But when your whole life you have been abused, neglected and made to feel worthless. God made me feel like I have a job to do on Earth and that I am highly esteemed by God. I'm just sharing my feeling. Instead of running away from the dreams/visions I see I will embrace them as my talent and my gift. That God chose little ole me to do something that can help others.

Sonic - not on it now for other reasons. But plan to retry. P-doc had contacted PTSD VA p-doc. She said I would probably need to gradually move up to 10 mg before fully effective for nightmares/night terrors.

Of course doesn't prevent nightmares - just suppose to reduce body's reaction to them.

Just looked at bottle. It was 2 mg taken twice a day to start. Guess was also for anxiety/stress. But I also had prehypertension (blood pressure).

Ocean5 my doc was like he is on four and I don't want to just bump it up to five. So he did six. My nightmare/vision/dreams are still there but I wake up and embrace what I saw. Because it makes me think WOW! There isn't a lot of time for ppl and I need them to know the truth of the Universe.

I mean if anybody here had gone thru what I did you would understand that in me my conscience I feel a tug to minister. I feel a urgency to tell ppl that the end of an Age is upon us.

I know when the hour of trial comes that ppl are going to read this and say I wished I believed.

I can't explain why I have this gut knowing feeling that something big is about to happen but hey. All you got to do is say Lord I believe in you. I believe that you where raised from the dead and I believe you sit at the Right Hand of the Father. And wala, you are safe. I sin everyday. I'm a wretch. I've been humbled by God because my ministry talk gets thru to people and they feel they need a Savior.........please forgive me if I offend anyone.
