Another old, cheap antihypertensive drug that can work wonders with PTSD is propranolol.

> Prazosin (Minipress), and old, worthless antihypertensive, usually works wonders to squash PTSD nightmares, and reduce daytime anxiety and depression when taken throughout the day. It is a very "clean" drug. The only side effect was a reduction of sex drive. It wasn't completely abolished, though. It did not affect the quality of my erections, and orgasm was easy to achieve.
