I have absolutely horrible nightmares almost every night. 

My psychiatrist had prescribed prazosin (mini press), but it ended up lowering my blood pressure too much and I fainted twice when getting up to use the restroom in the night. 

Our last appointment she switched me to topamax and that doesn't seem to be doing much of anything for me.

Last night was... Very bad. 

Before the prazosin I used to get too anxious about even being asleep to fall asleep being I was scared about what kind of torture my brain would cook up. It is really unfortunate that I can't stay on  the prazosin because while it wasn't perfect it did really help. Now the sleep anxiety is coming back. 

I've got an appointment with her coming up to reevaluate the meds, but I want to hear from you guys if you've had any success or failure with something like this. 

I am bipolar 2, which major depression. I also have epilepsy. 

I take keppra, lamictal, celexa, ambien, and klonopin as needed.
