Traz: May consider a different nighttime medication. There are a few medications that help with nightmares assoc with ptsd but usually I do not recommend adding a medication to manage the side effects of another medication.

I take wellbutrin and prozac for anxiety/depression, trazadone for sleep, and adderall for focus. I am now exercising regularly and would like to taper off some or all of these. I have found that as long as I exercise, my moods are able to be controlled
