1 Prazosin (and Other Medications) for PTSD and mtbi Murray A. Raskind, MD Director, VISN-20 Mental Illness Research, Education, and Clinical Center Professor and Vice-Chair Dept. of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences University of Washington School of Medicine Prazosin A generic lipid-soluble alpha-1 adrenoreceptor (AR) antagonist introduced in 1973 as Minipress for treatment of hypertension Short duration of action (6-10 hours) Costs pennies per day Questions What is the evidence for bedtime prazosin efficacy for nighttime PTSD symptoms and global clinical status? What are the effects of bedtime prazosin on sleep physiology in PTSD? Does daytime prazosin reduce alcohol consumption in alcohol dependence? Does prazosin reduce behavioral and somatic symptoms of mtbi? 1
2 Neurobiologic Model of PTSD Brain adrenaline rush that saves lives in combat becomes persistent and maladaptive. Long-lasting upregulation of brain postsynaptic adrenoreceptor (AR) response to norepinephrine at the alpha 1 AR (in prefrontal cortex, amygdala?) contributes to reexperiencing and hyperarousal symptoms. CNS Effects of Alpha-1 Adrenoreceptor Stimulation Potentially Contribute to PTSD Symptoms Increase anxiogenic corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) release. Favor fight/flight cognition at prefrontal cortex 1. Disrupts REM sleep, increases light sleep. 1 Arnsten AF, et al., Biol Psychiatry 45:26-31,
3 Prazosin Treatment of PTSD Grew from Clinical Observations The first veteran treated for severe treatmentresistant Vietnam combat PTSD nightmares (1996) was given the beta-blocker propranolol (case report suggesting benefit--kolb, 1984). After two weeks the veteran said Doc, we are going the wrong direction; my nightmares are even worse. Intensifying dreams is an established adverse effect of beta-adrenergic blockade. What to do Next? Brain alpha-1 adrenergic effects are often opposed to brain beta-adrenergic effects. Would blocking brain alpha-1 adrenergic receptors with prazosin suppress nightmares? Prazosin Appeared Helpful Prazosin was begun at 1 mg q.h.s. to avoid firstdose effect of orthostatic hypotension. After two weeks of gradual prazosin dose increase to 6 mg q.h.s., nightmares disappeared! This veteran continues nightmare-free (and alcohol-free) for past 12 years (no tolerance to prazosin effect in PTSD). Similar long-term benefit in many other veterans. 3
4 First Efficacy Demonstration: Prazosin/Placebo Crossover Study 10 Vietnam combat veterans (age = 53 ± 3 years) randomized to:» placebo followed by prazosin (n = 5)» prazosin followed by placebo (n = 5) Titration schedule:» 1 mg q.h.s. x 3 nights, 2 mg x 4 nights, 4 mg x 7 nights, 6 mg x 7 nights, 10 mg for 6 weeks Two Prazosin RCTs in Vietnam Veterans with PTSD: CAPS Recurrent Distressing Dreams ( Nightmares ) Two Prazosin RCTs in Vietnam Veterans with PTSD: Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) 4

6 Sleep Physiology of Trauma Nightmares and PTSD Trauma nightmares arise from disrupted REM sleep and light sleep (stages 1 and 2). In animals, alpha-1 stimulation with methoxamine disrupts REM sleep and lengthens light sleep. These effects are reversed by prazosin. Taylor FB, et al., Biol Psychiatry 63:629-32, Prazosin and Sleep Physiology: A Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study We evaluated the effects of bedtime prazosin vs. placebo on sleep physiology and PTSD symptoms in 13 civilian trauma PTSD subjects with persistent trauma nightmares and sleep disturbance. Prazosin and Sleep Physiology: A Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study REMview device recorded sleep vs. wake and REM vs. non-rem. 10 of 13 participants provided a full three nights of REMview data in both maintenance prazosin condition (3.1 ± 1.3 mg hs) and placebo condition. 6

Does prazosin reduce alcohol consumption in non-ptsd alcohol dependent persons seeking abstinence? 7
8 Placebo-Controlled Trial of Prazosin in Alcohol Dependent Persons Seeking Abstinence: Subjects and Methods 17 alcohol dependent men without PTSD (46 ± 7 years). Two week titration to target dose of prazosin (or placebo) 4 mg BID, 8 mg HS. Maintained at target dose for 4 weeks. Simpson, TL et al., Alcohol Clin Exp Res 31:60A, Mean Drinking Days Per Week by Condition (Male Completers Only) Controlling for drinking days per week at baseline and week number, the prazosin group reported fewer drinking days per week than the placebo group during the final 3 weeks of the study (β = -1.84; 95% CI = -2.74, -.93; p < 0.001). Relationships Between mtbi and PTSD: Epidemiology C.W. Hoge, et al., NEJM, 1/31/08» After adjustment for PTSD and depression, mtbi was no longer associated with postconcussive and general somatic symptoms - except for headache. A.I. Schneiderman, et al., Am J Epidemiology 4/17/08» The strongest factor associated with postconcussive symptoms was PTSD, even after overlapping symptoms were removed from the PTSD score. 8
9 mtbi in U.S. Soldiers Returning From Iraq: C.W. Hoge, et al., 1/31/08 Surveyed 2525 infantry soldiers 3-4 months after return from Iraq. Of the 5% with loss of consciousness following injury, 44% met PTSD criteria. mtbi loss of consciousness group compared to no mtbi other injury group had greater physical symptoms (sleep disturbance, headache, chest pain, heart pounding) and other postconcussive symptoms (memory, balance, ears ringing, concentration, irritability). C.W. Hoge, et al., (continued) Multivariate logistic regression assessed whether PTSD and depression mediated relationships between mtbi with loss of consciousness and physical health outcomes. Only headache remained significant after adjustment for PTSD (and depression). In contrast, PTSD was strongly associated with all physical health outcomes. C.W. Hoge, et al.: Caveats Only assessed subjective symptoms. No neurologic or neuropsychologic objective parameters assessed. Sleep disturbance was not separated into sleep initiation disturbance vs. disruptive awakenings. 9
10 Received 9/2008 Dear Dr. Raskind, You probably do not know me, but I was so impressed with a presentation that you gave about the utility of prazosin for nightmares with PTSD that I started using it for vets with mtbi/ptsd complex with great success. I have also been lobbying for more extensive use in VA. I am writing to let you know that prazosin will be included in the VA/DoD treatment guidelines for mtbi Rob Ruff Neurology Director for VA An Open Label Prazosin and Sleep Hygiene Trial for OIF/OEF Blast mtbi Robert C. Ruff, MD, Director of VA Neurology Subjects: 80 OIF/OEF returnees with blast mtbi plus neuropsych and/or neurologic deficits (particularly olfactory deficits).» 74/80 had headaches and met criteria for PTSD Methods: All treated with prazosin to 7 mg qhs plus sleep hygiene for 9 weeks. Results: Significant improvement in headaches, sleep disturbance, marital discord, and cognitive function by MOCA cognitive screen instrument. Prazosin for Somatic Symptoms Following mtbi in Operation Iraqi Freedom Veterans* 74 OIF veterans with blast trauma mtbi Mean blast experiences with loss of consciousness = 4.1 Prazosin started at 1 mg qhs and increased weekly by 1 mg to maintenance dose of 7 mg qhs *Robert Ruff, MD, Cleveland VA 10
11 Change in mtbi Symptoms Following Prazosin (mean ± SD) Baseline Week 9 p value Headaches per month 12.4 ± ± 2.9 < Headache intensity 7.1 ± ± 1.6 < Daytime sleepiness (Epworth) % subjects with restful sleep Montreal Cognitive Assessment 16.1 ± ± 2.9 < % 87.8% < ± ± 2.2 < Prazosin is Not a Cure Nightmares usually return soon after prazosin is discontinued (1-2 days). Prazosin must be taken every night. Although modest dose increases sometimes necessary over years of treatment, loss of efficacy rarely observed. Adding a 10 am dose (1mg-5 mg) is helpful for persistent daytime reexperiencing and hyperarousal symptoms. Prazosin: Adverse Effects Generally, very well tolerated. First dose hypotension avoided with low dose initiation - but some vets need titration to 20 mg or more. Orthostatic dizziness more common in young women and persons already on a beta-blocker or ED drug. Concurrent use with trazodone may increase priapism risk. Nasal congestion, peripheral edema, headache possible. 11
12 Prazosin - Helpful Side Effects Gentle BP reduction. Enhances urine flow in older men with prostate hypertrophy. Can enhance erectile function. No pharma reps will call. Large Prazosin RCTs for Combat Trauma PTSD (with trauma nightmares) Underway VA Cooperative Study #563 at 13 VA sites. DoD study in Active Duty OIF/OEF Returnees at Madigan AMC and Walter Reed AMC. Other Medications for PTSD: Trazodone Sedating antidepressant with some prazosin-like alpha-1 blocker activity Can initiate sleep with variable effect on nightmares Daytime hangover is common Used widely but no placebo-controlled trials (generic) 12
13 Other Medications for PTSD: Atypical Antipsychotics One placebo-controlled trial of risperidone» showed modest efficacy--particularly irritability/anger One small placebo-controlled trial of olanzapine» improved sleep but not global status» 12 lb. weight gain over 10 weeks Quetiapine widely used, probably for alpha-1 blocker and sedating antihistamine effects. Using atypical antipsychotics chronically risks metabolic syndrome and cardiac mortality. Other Medications for PTSD (continued) Benzodiazepines and zolpidem are widely used in VA but no evidence of efficacy for core PTSD symptoms.» can help sleep initiation to augment prazosin sleep normalization Anticonvulsives not effective in controlled trials. Beta-adrenergic blocker propranolol: no placebo-controlled trials for treatment, being evaluated for post-trauma prophylaxis. 13
