i recently got diagnosed with hypertension. a doctor is recommending that i start medication to help with it.
i am curious if anyone here has any advice on a anti-hypertension drug (maybe prazosin) that would also help w/anxiety?
thanks for any replies/thoughts.

John be thankful it's not older age. Since it's minipress why not try? Isn't it for depression though? Phillipa

Prazosin can help with anxiety. A stronger alternattive would be Pindolol-its a 5ht1a agonist, which makes it a good anxiolytic.
