> When you get back, could you tell us about the dosage of Prazosin? Is 20 mg. average when it is being used for depression/ PTSD? Or are you a pioneer in finding the best dosage? Do you have any difficulties with low blood pressure?I titrated the dosage of prazosin myself to the maximum recommended 20 mg/day. My doctor had no problem with this, especially because it is working. Initiating prazosin treatment is tricky because one can experience signicant dizziness at first. Even beginning at 1 mg/day, it is recommended to take it at night to avoid this. I experienced small improvements at the lower dosages, so it is not an all-or-nothing dosage-response curve. Most studies of PTSD do not use the maximum recommended 20 mg/day, despite it being safe at 40 mg/day.
Currently:
Parnate 80 mg
nortriptyline 150 mg
Lamictal 200 mg
lithium 300 mg
Abilify 10 mg
prazosin 20 mg
