Better days are here.:-)
I reduced my dosage of prazosin from 12 mg to 8 mg. I found that the higher dosage produced some lethargy, fatigue, and tremulousness. I thought the tremulousness would abate, but it hasn't. The lethargy and fatigue have disappeared. I now take prazosin 4 mg b.i.d. This seems to be adequate so far. I don't think once-a-day dosing would work. The half-life of prazosin is just a few hours.
I am gaining more confidence in my treatment regime. The periodic dips in mood are disconcerting, but not at all hellish. They can last from a few minutes to a few days. There is no obvious cycle.
I am still hopeful that I will eventually achieve remission. It won't happen overnight, though. It will probably take another year. I can be patient if I am convinced that the process continues in a positive direction. My goal is to go to work and meet people. I won't have to wait another year to do these things, though.
