About Us

Our story

Founded by a psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Forsberg MD, and a counselor, Eric Warden LPC, - when Eric noticed his clients with PTSD were getting much better results in counseling sessions when prescribed prazosin for nightmares and flashbacks.

These clients were able to process their trauma without experiencing flashbacks or nightmares, leading to quicker symptom resolution and a faster return to normal life.

Recognizing the impact of medication for PTSD nightmares, Eric reached out to Dr. Forsberg to share his observations. This collaboration has resulted in the successful treatment of hundreds of patients. Our approach includes the use of medication for PTSD and nightmares, such as doxazosin for nightmares and doxazosin for flashbacks, tailored to each patient’s needs.

“It can be difficult to find a provider who is aware of the use for these medications and has experience prescribing and adjusting the dose. We have clear evidence that the medication works and that the side effects are mild and manageable. We have been prescribing prazosin for over a decade.”

Martin Forsberg, M.D.,

Co-Founder

Seeing the life-changing effects of prazosin for nightmares and flashbacks, Dr. Forsberg and Eric Warden wanted to make awareness and access more widespread. They created PTSD Rx, the first online practice dedicated to treating nightmares and flashbacks with medication. By offering medication for PTSD and treatment for PTSD nightmares, PTSD Rx aims to help patients reclaim their lives with effective and accessible care.
