> Dude I took 2mgs before a test and I was all dizzy and stuffed up with a killer headache...you have none of these SE's at 15mgs?
You are supposed to start prazosin treatment by taking a single 1 mg dose at bedtime so that you don't suffer extreme dizziness while you are awake. By the time you wake up, the body has already begun to adjust to it. You can then follow up with 1 mg in the morning and 1 mg at bedtime. You might then begin taking 1 mg three times a day for a few days. Prazosin should be dosed 2 or 3 times a day. It is likely that if you titrate gradually, you will avoid the more extreme reactions you describe. Besides a reduction in sex drive, prazosin is an extremely clean drug for me. Like many other drugs, there may be some startup side effects that eventually disappear. My blood pressure is 120/70.
