I was hoping to switch to a drug that would maintain a more consistent blood level. I was surprised that the doxazosin didn't work, but this just goes to serve as an example that there is much that we don't know about the brain and the drugs that affect it. I restarted prazosin yesterday. Today has been better. I'll just have to learn how to finesse the dose.

>I'm sorry the doxazosin didn't work out. But I'm glad you're back on the prazosin and that today has been better. I have a post at the end of the board that I'd really appreciate your input on...mostly has to do with antihypertensives with MAOIs. Prazosin is actually one of the agents I was interested in asking my PCP about.
Hope you continue to feel better and better,
Kat
p.s. I agree with you when you say there is much we don't know about the brain. I sometimes think we know about as much about the brain as we do about the universe.
