Experiences with

Florinef

Normally should be low alonside low cort, so I wasn't prescribed Florinef for low aldo. Anyway, my family doctor and endo want me to do an MRI of adrenal glands, full body CT and potentially pituitary MRI.

I have been reading that excessive thirst can be experienced if one's Florinef dose is too low, and even it is too high, which can be difficult to regulate. I did a test today, and increased my Florinef dose to .15/day which one pill and a half.

As for the Florinef, I am using Licorice Root at the moment courtesy of a Kinesiologist I am using to help guide me with supplements and medication dosing.

his current medications are Rytary, Sinemet rescue for Rytary dose failure (which is often), klonopin, lexapro, florinef, lubiprostone, sennakot, miralax, trazodone, remeron.

Aldosterone blood test revealed below mid range, and after several wasted appointments with my GP to discuss prescribing florinef (fludrocortisone) for my just below mid range aldosterone, she has decided it’s too complicated for her and has officially dropped me ‘like a hot brick’.. her words!

We have tried florinef and because we dont get midodrine here in South Africa our doctor imported it from Austria for us to try. We started on 1x 2.5mg 3 times a day, with no change, we tried 2 and now i have started giving her 3x 2.5mg 3 times a day.

Plasma Aldosterone: < 103 pmol/L ( 103 - 859 ) This is a bit weird as I have been taking fludrocrtisone (Florinef), for this, but probably need to up the dose.

Hi there – wondering how people get on when they are on fludrocortisone? I have been on it for about 1 month so far and graduated slowly from ¼ to ½ a pill daily. I feel tremendously better and am happy to say that this drug seems to be working wonders for me. I am taking it with good salt & water

I had some prednisone in the cupboard from a while back and started taking 2.5mgs while I tried to get Florinef or Cortef. As Dr P can't prescribe it, this meant my GP. She , as many others have reported, was NOT helpful.

I have done well replacing with Synthroid (levethyroxine) for the hypothyroid, cortisol and florinef for Addison's disease and insulin for diabetes. About a year ago my thyroid gland started working again and now it has become overactive.

I cannot help but wonder Florinef (brand name for aldosterone) is so rarely mentioned? If you have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, should you not take aldosterone as well?

He also takes Cortef and florinef for Addison's disease and keppra and depakote for seizures. He is leveled out ok but he has no feeling or use of his legs from the waist down. Is this normal?? Why is it goin so fast??! Is there anything that could help us? Anyone that has had a similar experience?

Does anyone have experience of treating low aldosterone with Florinef (fludrocortisone)?

I am also on Hydrocortisone/Florinef.

My nodules have increased and are now multiple, my thyroid antibodies are sky high, since this flare my health has gone down hill drastically I have been on T3 as I can not tollerate any form of T4, hydrocortisone/florinef/dhea Most of which I have been managing myself for years but its got to a stage

Originally prescribed midodrine, but it gave me terrible headaches, so eventually changed to fludrocortisone (Florinef). Got to say that the 'fludro' works great and I get very few side effects. Seems to work well keeping me upright too! I do get quite a few 'pre-syncopial' moments though!

I was put on some serious steroids (Florinef) to get my blood pressure up. Side effects: it may damage your adrenal glands and removes the potassium from your body. It was not a good experience and it didn't work. Back in the ER and now diagosed with "Cronic Venus Pooling".
