Can I get off Hydrochlorothiazide, Ativan and go for Prazosin ?
human
My wife takes hydrochlorothiazide for her blood pressure and practically just started that. She also takes zoloft for depression. Her phychiatrist wants to put her on prazosin for her anxiety instead of ativan. She also has ptsd depression severe panic attacks restless leg syndrome. From what I have been reading about this miracle drug it could relieve her of all these problems. Could it be a good idea to get off the blood pressure medicine and ativan and just take the  prazosin. I already have the script but im just scared to take new mediciations.

Hi Adam, welcome to healthcare magic.Zoloft is a antidepressant medication and ativan is a sedative. prazosin is mainly used for hypertension, however prazosin might not be helpful to control her depression and if she had sleep problems this tablet might not be helpful for her. better is to discuss this issue with your psychiatrist in person.thank you
