Midodrine

[andybonse]

Hello,

What dose of Midodrine made you feel better?

I am on 2.5mg, I feel the tingling a little bit etc and a little bit better in my head.

I'm only noticing 10 mg. And not really feeling better. I mean notice it kicking in with goosebumps etc.

I take 2.5 mg 3 times a day. It helps me stay on my feet but I still get high heart rates.

I take 10mg three times a day and still struggle. It helps me stay upright when I go out. Sometimes if I am taking it easy, I will back down to 5mg three times aday, but thats mainly if I'm staying home and not getting up much.

I take 2.5 also. My doc told me to bump it up to 5 if I wanted to but it gave me major goosebumps and tingly head, so I just kept it at 2.5.

My doc wants me to start Midodrine in a few weeks,once neuro finishes some more tests....just being curious, but have any of you tried alternative drugs? ,florinef etc..

I was taking 2.5 three times a day....just increased to 5 mg. twice a day after a downward trend which I think is due to the weather warming. It is helping I think but I need more time to really tell. My scalp itches like crazy so I sometimes feel like that commercial (was that a dandruff commercial?) but I'd rather have an itchy scalp and be standing and out than home in bed. I have been getting the chills though too which is quite uncomfortable for me. Doc said because I am 48 years old, he doesn't want me to try any type of steroid med. is fluorinef a steroid? Must google that.
