joy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I've been on it for nearly two weeks and it isn't helping.I was put on midodrine and it was starting to work but it made my RND flare as I already have issues with my constricted blood vessels (with RND the nerves attack the vessels)Doc just called (she's wonderful) and asked if I was willing to give it a full month, as it sometimes takes that long. Naturally I said yes.I don't know what else is out there for me if this doesn't help, thoughts?Not sure about Beta Blockers, Setraline is as serotonin reuptake inhibitors [sSRIs] to make my brain raise BP and lower HR.

I'm on my 3rd week of Setraline and it's just now lowering my heart rate. Sometimes they take a while to work, and it beats the heck out of having a bad reaction. I'd vote to stick it out and if after a month if doesn't work to try a different SSRI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
