Experiences with

Midodrine

It hasn’t helped so the doctor wants to change it and try Midodrine has anyone had any experience with this drug. like all medication it has its side effects if it’s not going to make his blood pressure come up a bit what’s the point!

He has postural hypotension and taking midodrine meds. Is this something that you get with MSA.

I also have very low BP and have to take Midodrine daily to keep a normal BP. So, the salt in the soup would be helpful. Is the sodium content the only reason they say we shouldn't have too much soup? If BP is low, is it okay to eat? Thanks!

side effect of midodrine (increases when combined with rasagiline) 5. BPPV (a sort of vertigo mentioned by Dr. Bas Bloem) ----- Any experience with Revastigmine for balance?

It's Monday morning, I just gobbled down my ritual of 5 pills (Nurtec, Midodrine, Lasik, Vitamin D and Aspirin. Last but not least.... Copaxone Injection 😪. I think when I take my injection it makes me "hyper sensitive" - in other words: I can be "cry baby.".

He was in icu for 2 weeks after surgery as they tried treating it with midodrine which doesn't seem to be helping.

Seems about 1.5 hours after a dose of stalevo is when it drops then he takes 10 mg of midodrine. It’s a constant thing! He has to stand about a minute before walking to be sure he’s stable. Try to make him drink through day, Anyone else going thru this and how do you manage it! Thx

Doctors switched from midodrine to droxidopa (northera) 3 weeks ago to see if can regulate. But his dose of stalevo every 4 hours brings BP down! Droxidopa brings it up but never stable! Now on 200 mg in am and 100mg 2 more times if needed. Any suggestions as to management? Still experimenting.

Hi,Does anyone have experience of using Midodrine for controlling blood pressure? Last night's 999 call out where his BP had dropped to 53 over 30 means we have got to do something.

I am asking for a friend who's teenage daughter has POTS and her quality of life is suffering and she has been prescribed 5mg midodrine, is there anyone else on this medication and how has it been for you. Wishing you all a lovely day. Angela

If okay to take at the same time with negligible impact to absorption of levo my current regime is: 6am midodrine & levothyroxine (get up 7am) 10am midodrine, morning supplements, anti histamine 2pm midodrine, afternoon supplements 9:30pm HRT (Estradiol & progesterone tablets) 10-11pm hopefully

The medication she is on is Midodrine and Fludrocotisone. We have been varying the dose following direction from our GP, but this does not seem to help sufficiently and she continues to fluctuate between feeling reasonably OK one day to being unable to stand up or walk the next.

She is currently on: 100mg Flecainide 2x a day, 50mg Atenolol 1 x a day and 50 mg Midodrine (she also has POTs and low BP , possibly from the Atenolol). So, they want to wean her off to see how her heart behaves without any meds, should it all be ok, fantastic!

Now on Midodrine 5mg 3 times a day and fludrocortisone 100micrograms but still a problem. Doctor has cut my sinement back from 2 x 7 times a day to 1.5 each dose and added 1 selegiline twice daily .Does anyone have this issue and has anyone tried something thats helped.Thanks

The last two weeks he has drains 8 litres He had been taking furosemide, vitamin D, Rifarixim, Allopurinol, Sertraline, Quinine, Mirtazepine, Prednisolone and Midodrine. Does anyone have any experience of any of those exacerbating the ascites? Thanks

Was doing really well on midodrine. However the last 3 weeks terrible. Fainting daily & she says they feel different, & now without warning. Her 24 hr heart monitor showed she has sinas tachycardia 210 times both during the night & day. Is this normal?

As I’m still getting dizzy occasionally the Cardiologist is writing to the G P to see if he wants to prescribe Midodrine. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks, kind regards David

Current idea is to take midodrine 2.5mg to try to increase BP, and Ranolazine to help angina In my case nobody seems keen to think about any further intervention angioplasty or CABG because the RCA is of marginal benefit. It would also be very technically difficult.

I'm on 7.5mg pred. 5mg morning 2. 5mg early evening also 2.5mg Midodrine they told this will be for the rest of my life

Her blood pressure still dips sometimes so they’ve been giving her midodrine. She has been there for over 2 months. She follows commands and mouths words to me on FaceTime! The only time she had an bad time there was when her oxygen started to dip and she was unconscious for a few minutes.
