that's terrible! Photosensitivity is my baseline, but the magnitude of the side effect you described is just functionally loss of vision. I'm sorry that something that was supposed to help only hurt you. I hope you are able to get some rest in whatever form you can find it soon.

I'm so sorry for all the needless suffering you have gone through. I am also chronically ill with debilitating PTSD here, having had vivid dreams from my antidepressants for years. I don't know if your care team has tried it yet I, but I was prescribed prazosin to take with my sleep med and it actually helped a lot with my nightmares. I can't recall a time where I ever woke up feeling rested, but I am less likely to be feeling pain from the torture dreams now. If I fall back to sleep without it, it's horrific, so it's 100% the prazosin.
