bustersacc11 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have an appointment with my cardiologist tomorrow and looking to substitute methyldopa for something else with treating my hyperadrenergic / pseudopheochromocytoma dx.Anyone out there currently taking methyldopa? How are you tolerating it? If not, what are you taking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellysavedbygrace Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I am not currently taking this drug but it was recently recommended to me by Dr. Biaggioni at Vanderbilt's Research center. It was recommended to me to help control the exxagerated sympathetic response I have. Instead I am going to trial a similar drug that many POTS patients have had success with, Clonidine. This was recommended to me by my POTS doctor many months ago and I did not try it. So I will try the Clonidine first and if it doesn't help or I have side effects I'll try the Methyldopa. Sorry I can't be of more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
