Ttreat high blood pressure and anxiety, PTSD, and panic disorder.
It is an alpha-adrenergic blocker that is specific for the alpha-1 receptors

The antihypertensive characteristics of prazosin make it a second-line choice for the treatment of high blood pressure
Prazosin is also useful in treating urinary hesitancy associated with prostatic hyperplasia, blocking alpha-1 receptors, which control constriction of both the prostate and ureters
This medication has shown to be effective in treating severe nightmares in children and people with PTSD symptoms.
side effect
Side effects of prazosin include orthostatic hypotension, syncope, and nasal congestion. The orthostatic hypotension and syncope are associated with the body's poor ability to control blood pressure without active alpha-adrenergic receptors. Patients on prazosin should be told not to stand up too quickly, since their poor baroreflex may cause them to faint as all their blood rushes to their feet. The nasal congestion is due to dilation of vessels in the nasal mucosa.

One very rare side effect of prazosin is priapism.[5]!!!!!
