Prazosin Minipress Rx

Updated

Hello: Dealing with PTSD. Prazosin helps but is short acting. I use at night when anxiety jerks me awake, often 3 or 4 times. I always check BP first and when elevated by stress I take 2-4 mg. It really helps but my P-doc wont give RX for enough to see me through a month. Is there any reasonably reliable over the counter route for Prazosin (minipress)? I could really use the help. Thanks

Hello Don. Spotted your post in here..I get the drug for something else but I was wondering did anyone try Melatonin on you? It's a natural sleep hormone.. in Europe it doesn't require a prescription.

Hi Don,

Regarding PTSD, I stumbled upon some interesting information I wanted to share, suggesting that certain psychedelics such as psilocybin (the active component found in psychedelic mushrooms) have been medically used to eliminate PTSD altogether.

I understand that this sounds like an unorthodox approach to treating virtually anything, but I'd just encourage you to do some of your own investigations on this topic, since apparently researchers at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and New York University have also declared psilocybin therapy to be promising...

And having said this, I would also think that if you were to contact either of these universities about their studies, maybe they'd even be willing to help make psilocybin treatment a reality (in a controlled environment) for those who are willing? You never know. It's a bit outside the box, but I hope this info at least helps open the door to other types of treatment modalities that weren't already considered.
