It feels like a very clean antidepressant with one exception. It ruins my sex-drive. I am better with it than without it.> Were you taking Parnate, Nortrip, lamictal etc at the time you were also taking the prazosin?
Yes, and dizziness is not an issue - except for the first 12-24 hours. It is recommended that one begin Prazosin treatment by taking a single 1 mg dose right before going to bed. This is to avoid syncope. After that, you can increase the dosage at a moderate rate to 20-40 mg/day.
The dosage must be divided and taken three times a day.
