prazosin and Anxiety

prazosin has been researched along with Anxiety in 14 studies

Prazosin: A selective adrenergic alpha-1 antagonist used in the treatment of HEART FAILURE; HYPERTENSION; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; RAYNAUD DISEASE; PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY; and URINARY RETENTION.
prazosin : A member of the class of piperazines that is piperazine substituted by a furan-2-ylcarbonyl group and a 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl group at positions 1 and 4 respectively.

Anxiety: Feelings or emotions of dread, apprehension, and impending disaster but not disabling as with ANXIETY DISORDERS.

"Prazosin may attenuate stress cue-induced alcohol craving and anxiety during early abstinence while improving adrenergic and stress system function, effects which are independent of a history of lifetime anxiety disorders."5.34Effects of Prazosin on Provoked Alcohol Craving and Autonomic and Neuroendocrine Response to Stress in Alcohol Use Disorder. ( Angarita, GA; Fox, HC; Hermes, G; Milivojevic, V; Sinha, R, 2020)
"Prazosin appears efficacious in decreasing stress- and cue-induced alcohol craving and may normalize the stress dysregulation associated with early recovery from alcoholism."5.16Prazosin effects on stress- and cue-induced craving and stress response in alcohol-dependent individuals: preliminary findings. ( Anderson, GM; Fox, HC; Hansen, J; Kimmerling, A; Morgan, PT; Siedlarz, KM; Sinha, R; Tuit, K, 2012)

"In the present study, the effect of alpha-adrenoceptor agents on response to nicotine in an anxiety model (elevated plus-maze) in mice was investigated."3.70Involvement of adrenergic and cholinergic systems in nicotine-induced anxiogenesis in mice. ( Babaie, A; Etminani, A; Gharib, B; Homayoun, H; Zarrindast, MR, 2000)
"Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe chronic mental illness that develops in individuals exposed to life-threatening trauma and is characterized by hyperarousal, flashbacks and nightmares."1.56The serotonergic and alpha-1 adrenergic receptor modulator ACH-000029 ameliorates anxiety-like behavior in a post-traumatic stress disorder model.
