> So would clonidine be better for insomnia than prazosin?
I don't think prazosin helps with insomnia, except, perhaps, for those people who are afraid to sleep for fear of having a nightmare due to PTSD.
Some people report using clonidine for insomnia. I don't know anyone who has, though. Unfortunately, clonidine tends to be depressogenic, even in people who have never been depressed before. Pharmacologically, it does the opposite of Remeron (mirtazapine) on NE alpha-2 receptors.
