"I'm allergic to potatoes and food dyes and have trouble with medications containing potato starch (a binder) or that are colored with Yellow #5. Doxazosin Mesylate 1mg was prescribed to me as an alternative to Clonidine which has my allergens in it. I take it at night, it helps me sleep. It weakened me for the first few days, was doing hot outside work (Florida) and got a little dizzy and had to cut my efforts short. Eating a large hearty meal in the morning helped with the dizziness. I've been taking it for about a week now and I feel normal again. Just take it easy with this drug for the first week or two. I read other reviews on this site, which made me comment, starting at 4mg seems awful high given I had side effects on 1mg. I'm on testosterone therapy and am also finding it a bit easier to pee and fully empty my bladder."
