I thought this was interesting.

Terazosin is also used to treat high blood pressure. I wonder how they will get around this for the many PwP who have low blood pressure.

Default A Caution about Terazosin
I was really excited about Terazosin until recently when I read in that it can cause heart arrythmias.

I'm still going to ask my neuro about it!

Best Wishes

Paul
