For High Blood Pressure "I am on 2mg of Doxazosin, and it seems to reduce my blood pressure. Side effects are horrendous though. Exhaustion like you have the flu or are approaching the end of life. When I first started on them, I couldn't even walk from my car to my office without feeling like I was about to collapse and breathless. I know for sure it is them as I have come off them myself several times, and I am back to normal."

For High Blood Pressure "On 1 mg and sleep well on a night dose. I have to be careful not to move too quickly. Mornings are okay, but then by noon I get so exhausted I could fall asleep driving, at stoplights, at the table. Exhausted moving from room to room. Forget stairs. Stopped it twice to see, and no exhaustion. It’s a tiny little pill, small dosage, and happens hours after dosing. Bewildering? Took it last night and felt hollowed out this afternoon and unable to move for hours. Not a good med for me for HBP. Only positive is if you have an overactive bladder, it helps quiet that down."

For High Blood Pressure "Was on 4 mg doxazosin per day, which was making me tired and dizzy. Have now reduced it to 2 mg and feel a lot better. But it has an effect on my peeing, which is a reduced rate now. BP seems okay."
