I had been waking up in a panic attack state-sometimes I could remember the vivid dreams, but mostly I was just in a heightened state of fear/flight.
I have been taking trazodone and propanolol. I was on amitrip. before which made me very dazy and zombie like.
I find the trazodone good overall for headaches, and together with the propanolol and L-Tryptophan I am doing better. Now I wake up 1-2 a week vs. 7 in panic.
Best of luck to you-everyone will have different experiences. I suspect my bad dreams/ panic are my unconscious trying to work out my trauma.
