"I am 66 and have been taking 1 mg of Minipress/prazosin per day for BPH for at least 25 years. It works well with minimal side effects. I still get up about 1x per night to urinate, but the stream is reasonably strong and I can fully empty my bladder. Missing a dose for 2 or 3 days results in noticeable degradation of initiation, stream flow, and complete emptying of the bladder. Some years ago I tried Cardura, which had more impact on the BPH symptoms but had unacceptable side effects on potency and desire. Minipress is available as a generic and for me is a superior solution."
