Sorry to take so long to answer you.
Most doctors will prescribe prazosin 3.0 mg at bedtime only for PTSD. If nightmares are what is being treated, this is appropriate. However, some doctors are going up to 45 mg/day given in three divided doses to treat both depression and anxiety all day long. Again, this is usually prescribed with people who have PTSD. My doctor uses it on me because it is likely that I have developmental PTSD / complex PTSD / chronic trauma disorder. This is the result of childhood adversity - whether it be from physical or emotional abuse or neglect.

Prazosin does not sedate me or help me sleep. It doesn't hurt, though.
