> So you are on 6mg/d, Scott?

Yes. I take 2 mg three times a day. In the grand scheme of things, this is a fairly low dose. I experienced an improvement in depression at 3 mg/day, but my "mood" was too variable during the day, and it was obviously at its worst at the end of a dosing period. I don't doubt that 3 mg/day will be sufficient for some people, though.

I'm sure you saw that the dosage range of prazosin for treating hypertension is 6 - 20 mg/day; with some people going as high as 40 mg/day.

When I first started 6 mg/day, I experienced fatigue and sleepiness. However, those things disappeared within a week.

Prazosin caused a diminution of my sex-drive almost immediately. I imagine that some libido will emerge as my depression remits. Prazosin has NOT produced erectile dysfunction nor anorgasmia. I can still enjoy sex once I get started.
