Medication for nightmares?

Has anyone had any success with drug treatment for nightmares?

I have had them since I was a child due to trauma and am really sick of the disturbed sleep every night.

I’ve tried all the usual stuff and do regular exercise, yoga, meditation, etc but nothing works. I’m in therapy too.

Last resort is looking for medications to see if it’s worth my going to GP.

I don't know if it helps with nightmares but there is a medication that helps with PTSD. I think it might be sertraline

Don't think there is anything specific for the nightmares

Propranolol gave me nightmares of hell.

Avoid.
