> The main reason why I was looking to differentiate between sleep terrors and PTSD is that prazosin can suppress nightmares in that disorder. I don't know if this is also true of prazosin in sleep terrors.
What I wrote here is confusing.
prazosin = PTSD
propranalol = PTSD
propranalol = sleep terrorsPrazosin can often suppress nightmares in PTSD completely, as well as reduce daytime depression and anxiety. However, it does not erase or reduce the strenth of PTSD memories as the 60 Minutes video suggests occurs with propranolol. I hope propranolol also improves chronic daytime anxiety and depression in addition to acute episodes.
Very interesting.
