I don't think you can conclude deductively that a sustained remission is unlikely until you have exhausted all treatment possibilities. While I haven't reached full remission yet, my robust response to my current treatment regime has been a surprise to me; this, after 30 years of treatment failures. I cannot say with certainty that you are likely to respond to prazosin or minocycline, but it is certain that you cannot pronounce yourself untreatable until you do.

I don't recall your symptoms or treatment history. However, it is an example of a new way of using old drugs. Polypharmacy may be necessary in your case until new treatments emerge from medical science.
