Hi greenwillow,

(And fellow dealing-with-ptsd people.)
I stumbled across 'guanfacine' in Wiki. Also known as Tenex (short-acting), and Intuniv (long-acting, recently endorsed for ADHD). Both are Alpha Blockers, which I think you mentioned--I don't know what that means.

Prazosin (alpha blocker) is listed in Wiki as off label treatment for ptsd.

I'm interested in Intuniv because I have add, and use a stimulant. Intuniv can be used monotherapy for ADHD, but I think I read something about using it in
conjunction to stimulants. (The last bit was off topic :- / )

greenwillow, hope you're doing alright.
