I have hypersensitive alpha-1 receptors in the prostate, causing constriction, and some minor urination difficulties. I didn't quite understand the nature of the problem or that anything could be done about it until I happened to take nortriptyline, and urination improved. The only reasonable explanation was nortriptyline's alpha-1 blockade. Then when I was on the extremely anticholinergic protriptyline, I had such severe urination difficulties, I asked to start taking some kind of alpha-1 blocker, which I am still taking umpteen drugs later. I could probably do without it, but it does slightly increase the quality of my life.Todd
