buzzy feeling, but it is very real. I wouldn't take clonidine for it though.Seriously, sigi, I would ask my TCM person next time you get herbs (I am assuming here you get them through a practitioner).
The prazosin caught my attention because it is used w/ some success for invasive nightmares often associated w/PTSD, and this summer, even this entire spring, I had them. The nightmares have receded, thankfully. The sh*tty sleep not quite.
But, no I would not reccommend it for you. Or even myself, now. But when I was getting maybe 2-3 hours of light sleep for weeks and disintegrating again, I revisited it as a benzo or AP alternative.
I dig a pony.
