> This is the best news ever. It seems as though right from the beginning there has been something about Prazosin's effect on you which made you very hopeful about it. Do you think it's the effect it may be having on the traumatic component of your depression? Or is it more its synergy with the other medications? In any event, it's wonderful to hear.
Thanks, Twinleaf!
I'll give your excellent questions some more time to consider.
I have a few ideas, but nothing definite. I think the mind/brain gets into the habit of dissociating in response to trauma, both external and internal. Once established, the dissociative processes in the brain might remain active, even after the traumas are resolved. The brain gets "stuck" in a dissociative, vegetative depressive state.
The addition of prazosin felt like I had added a robustly effective antidepressant that produced greater clarity of thought. It is very "clean" cognitively. The only two side effects I have is mild orthostatic hypotension and a loss of libido.
