I like Prazosin. It does help with nightmares and left me feeling calm, but it did not affect my anxiety or mood enough to warrant taking it.

Do you have a fear of becoming senile?

Lightweight.

tonically activated alpha 1-adrenoceptors stimulate dopamine release in the caudate putamen as well as in the nucleus accumbens.

Its a wonder you haven't responded to other NMDA or glutamatergic drugs.

Those side effects go away at the higher doses.

I hit 60 mg before I felt any effect from this drug.

Would you say you suffer from treatment resistant depression...Maybe a little mania would do you some good...
