There is a medication called prazosin that is used in some cases of nightmares. I would strongly suggest letting your doc know about the nightmares, if you haven't already done so, and see what doc recommends. Here is a decent article I found about nightmares in people with bipolar disorder: https://www.verywellmind.com/does-bipolar-disorder-affect-dreams-380570 Edited December 4, 2019 by CrazyRedhead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
