Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I was probably only on the 3 mgs, bec. I'm giggling that this drug has benadryl in it. Benadryl does not do to me what remeron did. That crap knocked me out for days. There's a new drug I've been reading about called Saredutant. Suppose to be out in the states later this year. It works differently than all the others, and is suppose to have far less side effects. I'll give it a try when it's out. It would be nice if a drug really helped me. Beer helps, but when I drink it, I can't get enough. So I don't drink. Any way, hope you're ok.

I took remeron and it was the worst think that I did. it set me back so far in therapy because it caused things to come up in my mind.

Hi ...

I know it's been a while since I popped in... Ranger has two different "sleep aids" and neither of them really help him to sleep. One is: Quetiapine, 2nd is: Zolpidem.
They don't stop or lessen the dreams either.

Guess everyone's body chemistry is a little different.

Good luck and hope things go well for you...

Take care

Hi Donna!

I hope all is well with you and Ranger! So nice to hear from you again!

So far, not bad on the Remeron. It doesn't stop the dreams, in fact I have even more disturbing ones now, but I'm still getting sleep so I'm happy with that.

I do know that on Remeron, if you take over 15mgs it no longer works as a sedative. So the dosing might be the issue with some people. Me, I'm sensitive to chemicals so it doesn't even take that much for me!

Trazadone works well for me at 50 mg and I am allowed to take up to 100 mg. Sometimes I have very vivid dreams that are related to my PTSD, but they are not traumatic or disturbing. My feeling about them is they are part of my healing process. If I remember the dreams I go to a dream analysis web-site and find out what they could mean. Kind of a fun game for me.
