About Us

Our story

Founded by a psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Forsberg MD, and a counselor, Eric Warden LPC, - when Eric noticed some of his clients with PTSD were getting better much faster. He wondered why some clients progressed through treatment in months, whereas others remained stuck for years, with little to no progress. These clients were able to process their trauma without experiencing flashbacks or nightmares, leading to quicker symptom relief and a faster return to life as usual. When reviewing the medications of those getting better, he noticed a pattern. Those getting better, faster, were on a common medication, prazosin.

Realizing the impact of this medication for PTSD nightmares, Eric reached out to Martin to share his observations. Martin explained that he had been prescribing prazosin with great results for many years. Eric and Martin went on to treat hundreds of shared client’s in the community before deciding to create PTSD Rx, an online practice aimed at raising awareness and increasing access to this life changing treatment. Their specilaized approach uses evidence-based medications to stop PTSD nightmares and flashbacks, helping to restore sleep, function and mood.

“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.”

Their partnership led to the creation of the first ever practice dedicated to treating nightmares and flashbacks with medication. Martin and Eric are grateful for the chance to help people reclaim their lives with effective and easily accessible care.
