Hey folks. I’ve been dealing with chronic congestion for about a year now and only just now realized it might be a medication side effect from the Prazosin I take.

I take 8mg, as well as a whole bunch of other medications. Namely, I also take Flomax which apparently can also cause congestion because it is a similar type of medication.

I still wake up about every 90 min with a super dry mouth, I’m still having nightmares, super disturbing ones, I haven’t gotten a good nights sleep in about the same amount of time I’ve been dealing with the congestion/nightmares. I don’t know what to do.

I have a good psychiatrist so I can definitely talk to them about this, but I wanted to see if anyone had some personal experiences on med changes to help with sleep/nightmares.

I can’t take propranolol because it will lower my bp too much. Same goes for clonidine. Even with the Prazosin I sit at 95/65.

Thank you in advance for your help.
