Hi,
I live in the UK and am currently on 45mg of mirtazapine for PTSD and depression and also on temazepam for insomnia/fear to sleep caused by nightmares. The mirtazapine makes me feel drugged up all the time and I feel like my brain is so foggy, it also makes me sick or feel very sick in the morning. I would like to come off it but my doctor is at a loss as to what else to give me because we have tried most anti depressants. I have done some research and found that prazosin appears to be good at reducing nightmares but it is not registered in the UK to be used for the treatment of PTSD. Anyone else had good results from using prazosin? Anyone in the UK currently on it for PTSD and how did you go about being put on it?
Any information or advice would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
