Dr. Linda Callaghan answered

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Meds and therapy.: Flashbacks usually occur as symptoms of a traumatic stress. Antidepressants are usually used and anti-anxiety medications. However, medications always includes cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. When accompanied by nightmares, a blood pressure medicine called prazosin or Minipress have proved to be helpful. Good luck.
