| Add Prazosin review This drug has stopped my night terrors and nightmares. Helped me sleep sometimes. Although it has given me incontinence which I really hate and also I am unable to achieve orgasm anymore. I don't know for sure if this drug is causing it but I think it is because of it being a blood pressure thing. So am thinking of stopping it altogether due to these side effects. Its not worth it peeing in my bed every night and no sex drive anymore. I have suffered for 4 years with PTSD/nightmares until prescribed this drug. I have been taking this medication for 5 months at a dose of 7.5 mg. at bedtime. The nightmares are not as vivid and an able to cope much better. I do, however, have dizziness/lightheaded spells on occasion that I have to be cautious of. | Add Xanax review owcaitelltedifermt,wataretetotell when i was first prescribed this medication it helept me get out in the world helept me socialy and i found that thay help with everything, but after using them for over 10 years thay don't work as well ,but i have been reduced dramatically and ofcourse thay don''t work as well ,it's people that shoot them up and abuseing them that stuff it up for enyone that may need them,i hate going to get the ...
