> One thing nice - I was able to read two entire Scientific American articles and comprehend them. I haven't had that kind of mental focus in over ten years.
Actually, it has been over thirty years since I was last able to read unimpaired. By 1980, I had to drop out of college because I could no longer read, learn, or remember. I had a six-month reprieve in 1987 during which I was able to read. I read a good book on physics called "Dance of the Wu Li Masters". Then, in 1998, I experienced a few days of improved cognitive function. Of course, I wasted them by reading about pindolol augmentation of SSRIs in the American Journal of Psychiatry. I could have instead better spent the time reading the articles in Playboy.
While we are on the subject, I have experienced a noticeable decrease in my sex-drive. I am pretty sure that it is the prazosin that is responsible for this. It seems to be a common side effect of this drug. Remission is worth the trade-off, though. Even a 50% improvement is worth the trade-off.
It's always something.
