The guide explains how Prazosin, originally developed to treat high blood pressure, can reduce nightmares by blocking alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the brain. This mechanism helps decrease hyperarousal symptoms that often disrupt sleep in those with PTSD. The publication covers a range of topics, including dosing protocols, treatment timelines, and possible side effects. It also outlines different classifications of PTSD, such as Acute Stress Disorder, Complex PTSD, Delayed-Onset PTSD, and cases with comorbid conditions.
According to Los Angeles Outpatient Center data, an estimated 13 million Americans live with PTSD. Prevalence rates are notably higher among women, who experience the condition at nearly twice the rate of men. Among veterans, the rate is particularly significant, with 13% of female veterans affected. Additionally, nearly half of individuals with PTSD also meet the criteria for depression, according to the same source.
The guide emphasizes that Prazosin may be used in conjunction with evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused psychotherapy, as part of a comprehensive care plan. It is intended to help patients and caregivers understand treatment options and set expectations regarding outcomes.
A representative from AMFM stated, "We want people to have access to accurate information about treatments that can help them sleep better and reduce nightmares. This resource provides clear explanations about how Prazosin works and what individuals can expect during treatment."
