This whole thing makes me feel rather uneasy?

Today I was prescribed Prazosin to alleviate irritability and as a sleep aid. However, I was informed there is a risk of fainting because it was initially used to lower blood pressure. I feel not so sure about it because I live alone and the risks involved has me worried. What do you think? Any doctors out there or someone who has used this drug? Serious responses please

Call the doctor's nurse or leave a message to call you. Give your concerns, and ask any questions. You should do this because your doctor or office have your medical records. They have thought about what is best for you on a risk vs medication level. If you can not call your doctor or get an office call back, I would go for dumping the doctor to someone who made me feel cared for.

One reason your doctor might have prescribed you this( and just for your information should have told you about the risk's ) is that maybe the benefit's out weighed the risk's, Iv'e actually been told that, something you might want to ask him/her, it could be it is intended to take at the same time of day or night? Possibly at bed time? Dont hesitate to ask!

Usually it only takes about three days to change your sleep cycle. Take the medication for three days, then you'll be on cycle and you won't be so irritable.

you might want to put this in the health section...just a tip
