Csmith3 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I know a lot of us have vasomotor rhinitis, allergies and the inevitable chronic sinusitis that goes with it. I mentioned in reply to a recent post that midodrine is sometimes staying active in my system way too long. One unexpected benefit is that I've realised that it totally clears my sinusitis! In a way that previously was only possible with back to back slow-release Sudafed. I know it is logical that midodrine would help, but does anyone else find a single dose of midodrine clears their sinusitis, if only for 10 hours or so? It may be my new barometer to assess the level of midodrine in my body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flop Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Interesting discovery. I did take midodrine for a few months but it didn't seem to help, perhaps I was on too small a dose to help with either BP or nasal problems?Flop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalisa Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Interesting! I'm currently off of my Midodrine (I'm in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy and don't need it with all of the extra blood volume) but when I go back on it I'll pay attention to this symptom.I am one of those with chronic sinusitis and haven't noticed Midodrine helping in the past but will be paying attention to this.Take care,Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I don't have sinusitis, but a low dose of midodrine made my nose run...so I think you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brianala Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I have chronic sinusitis, and I came down with a sinus infection the day after I started taking Midodrine. It took about a week for everything to clear up, and I've only been on it for a few weeks now so I can't tell, but I'll be interested to see if it helps.
