kitt Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Am wondering if anyone is currently taking this, or has tried it in the past. Have filled a script for this and will start it this afternoon. Have tried Clonodine, beta blockers, and recently Mestinon. Had different problems with all.Feel like my primary concern at this point is to reduce the catecholamines, particularly norepinephrine.Am having far greater problems with excessive NE (lack of sleep!) than being concerned with heart rate and BP.The side affects of Methyldopa are awful, am almost afraid to start.Any thoughts would be appreciated!

MomtoGiuliana Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I took it for a short time post partum. It was before I was diagnosed w POTS but my bp was a bit high and it is considered safe to take while breastfeeding. It did knock my bp down a bit but didn't really seem to help my POTS symtoms. I don't remember any significant side effects. It is an old drug w a long track history and from what I understand considered very safe.
