My son was in a bad accident that he was the driver. Everyone was ok.  His car was totaled.   We finally replaced his car with one very similar to the one he wrecked.  He is complaining he isnt sleeping well.  Nightmares about the accident.  What should we do
Hello, he is having PTSD after the near fatal accident. It is seen quite commonly after such life-threatening events - the survivors have sucChatDoctorplaints. Usually these complaints are self limiting and recovery occurs in a week or so. But if the symptom increase or persist then meds are given. Zolpidem 12.5 mg is good for sleep and paroxetine 12.5-37.5 mg takes care of anxiety, irritation, fear and other related symptoms. So, please try to give him courage to tide over this phase but if the symptoms are persistent or increase-start Chat Doctor. Wish you good health.
