I've always had bad dreams my entire life but usually I'd also have good dreams. Since about February I've been having nightmares almost every single night and they happen all night. I wake up feeling exhausted and like I never even went to sleep. In April my doctor prescribed amitriptyline which helped for a few months, but by the end of July I was back to having nightmares. The past few weeks have been terrible, I usually wake up with my heart racing and crying. My doctor asked if I have ptsd but I don't think there's been anything serious enough that's happened to me to consider it. I'm just not really sure what to do anymore, and was wondering if anyone else suffers from the same issues. My doctor recommended 2 other medications for nightmares, but can't remember them for the life of me now. I went up on the amitriptyline on Tuesday but I don't feel like it's helped at all. I just want a normal night's sleep
