I've been thinking of trying prazosin since I've read that it's neuroprotective.
I haven't been able to find anything about the influence of antidepressants or any other drugs on hyperconnectivity, but some neurofeedback clinicians have been targeting hyperconnectivity and in some cases hypoconnectivity. In neurofeedback they usually call it connectivity training or coherence training. Robert Coben is a neurofeedback clinician on Long Island who specializes in treating hyperconnectivity. This is his site:

Nicholas Dogris has developed a brain stimulation system that can target abnormal coherences. It's called NeuroField and the site is http://www.neurofield.org/
This video shows the effect NeuroField has on a brain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69LBGhhj5IE
