    I've been on doxazosin for almost 6 years after bad reactions to other BP meds, and yes, all those things still happen from time to time, but your body does eventually get used to it - for the most part.

    I'm either on 1mg or 2mg a day, depending on how my blood pressure is doing, so you're on a very small dose.

    The thing about doxazosin is that it's pretty effective at lowering BP for many people, so stick with it if you can.
