Florinef Headaches

[jknh9]

Hi all,

I've been on Florinef 0.1 mg for a couple of months now, and it was difficult to adjust to it at first. I thought I was in the clear as far as side effects go, but the past few days, every time I try to take a walk outside, I start to get a dull throbbing headache that turns into a blinding pain within a few hours. It's been hot here, but not as bad as it was last month. I've been walking outside when it's anywhere from 89-93 F. These headaches hit and I feel extremely tired and pretty nauseous. I also feel like there's a lot of pressure in my head. Tylenol doesn't help at all, and the pharmacist told me not to take ibuprofen with Florinef.

Is this normal? I just about can't take it. And has anyone else had this happen from Florinef? I suspect it has something to do with Florinef because of the pressure sensation, but I'm not 100% sure.

Has anyone taken anything instead of Florinef that seems to be a better option?

Hi. My cardio started me on .1 mg of Florinef and that works out fine. We tried upping the dose to .2 mg and I had a 5 day migraine and my head swelled visibly afer the second higher dose. We obviously dropped me back to the lower dose right away. I started seeing the my POTS specialist shortly after that incident and told him about it. He happens to be a neuro specalizing in dysautonomia and migraines. He said that headaches, particularly migraines are common with Florinef. Since I also have migraines, he said we would never try upping the dose on my Florinef again and is surprise I tolerate it at all. We have not tried other meds to up my blood volume so I can't help you with that question. We just use other options to try to control my symptoms. Hope you find a better solution.
