I take 1mg of Prazosin for an enlarged prostate. Although it has stopped me waking up 2 or 3 times to do a pee in the night, I still wake up usually between 5am-6am dying for the toilet. I take it every night at 9pm. Should I take it earlier around 6pm or up my dosage? Thank you.

What has your doctor advised?

As you age, it is normal to start having to wake up to urinate, when it becomes a problem is when its several times a night, and disrupts your entire sleep pattern, but once isn't generally considered a problem.

What has your doctor advised? You should speak with them regarding your specific needs, before making a change to your medication regimen.

Prazosin may cause side effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, tiredness, headache, and urinary retention.
