HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Doxazosin, like all medications, does have potential side effects.
It can cause fatigue and problems with balance (causes vertigo and dizziness) , it is not normally associated with confusion but persons can react differently to medication.
These effects are more likely at a higher dose.
If you are having problems with the medication, you should consider speaking to your doctor who can make sure that there are no other causes first, if there are none, then he/she alter it for you.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
