Those who had vivid nightmares during recovery, and early sobriety, how long did they continue for you?
I have been through multiple relapses now, over the last 4 years, and never had nightmares after the first week, or so... but, when I got sober on Jan 2nd, the nightmares never went away
I relapsed on St.Pattys Day, and am now 5 days sober again. The Dr gave me low dose xanax for day, and trazadone (anti anxiety/ sleeping aid med) to take at night. It worked for about three nights, but now the nightmares have returned.
It's too early to tell, but seeing as whether I'm sober, or drinking heavily, I still have awful sleep and nightmares, have I permenantly damaged my brain maybe? 😣Wondering others' experiences with this.
