I find that prazosin helps me with mental energy and mental clarity. It might not be as good for depressed mood. I can't be sure. It has a true antidepressant effect that, although inadequate for me, is nonetheless very clean except for a reduction in sex-drive. I have attempted to lower the dosage several times, but I deteriorated quickly. I would recommend giving it a try if you experienced childhood adversity in the form of chronic trauma, including physical abuse, psychological abuse, or neglect. Once called developmental PTSD, Complex Trauma Disorder is now an official diagnosis.
Prazosin is a rather benign drug. I haven't heard of any severe adverse reactions to it. Research it just to make sure.
