> Thanks for updating us. It's so good to hear that those two drugs are working so very well! Do you have any side effects from the current level of prazosin?

Diminished sex-drive is the only side effect that I have experienced. however, it has recovered a bit as my depression has begun to remit. I don't get dizzy, even at 20 mg/day and with Parnate on board. I don't know what my BP is, though.

> Would you consider reducing or eliminating any of your other medications at some point?

My impatience betrayed me. I won't bore you with the details, but my mood has remained somewhat labile, despite restarting minocycline. What I like to call "mood drift" is likely to be a frequent phenomenon for me as I continue treatment. I am going to try to discontinue minocycline again. I don't like the prescribing protocol that makes it necessary to see my doctor once a month for a new script without refills.

I might then try to withdraw Lamictal, but I doubt I will remain well if I do. My best guess at this point is that I will need six drugs to achieve and maintain remission. That kind of sucks, but I am so grateful that remission is in sight.
