Hi Ed !!!
It is so great to see you again!

Thanks. I remain greatly improved after having increased the dosage of prazosin from 12 mg/day to 20 mg/day. I doubt that I will need to go any higher. I could possibly get away with with a lower dosage, but because there are no side effects other than reduced libido, I thought it might expedite things to go right to the maximum dosage recommended for hypertension rather than experiment with 15 - 18 mg/day. Admittedly, it is not terribly scientific to titrated so quickly by "feel", but I seem to be doing well with it. I wanted to give myself the best chance of using prazosin to achieve remission. This stuff really works for me. It feels like a very clean antidepressant. My response to prazosin should be viewed in the context of my childhood history of psychosocial stress, possibly leading to developmental PTSD, along with the totality of my current medication regime.
Currently:
Parnate 80 mg/day
nortriptyline 150 mg/day
Lamictal 200 mg/day
lithium 300 mg/day
Abilify 10 mg/day
prazosin 20 mg/day
