Sorry, I forgot to describe guanfacine and even managed to misspell it.

All of the following drugs reduce the fight-or-flight reaction by reducing the activity of neurons that use epinephrine and norepinephrine as a neurotransmitter / neuromodulator. They reduce the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, and are thus called sympatholytics.


Corrected:


clonidine (Catapress) = NE alpha-2 receptor agonist (stimulator / presynaptic)

guanfacine (Tenex) = NE alpha-2 receptor agonist (stimulator / presynaptic)

prazosin (Minipress) = NE alpha-1a/b/d receptor antagonist (blocker / postsynaptic)

propranolol (Inderal) = NE beta-1/2 receptor antagonist (blocker / postsynaptic)
