Guest Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have just started 600mg Northera 3x daily combined with 1 fludrocortisone and 10 mg midrodrine in morning, plus 1/2 fludrocortisone and 7.5 mg midrodine at lunch and 3 midodrine at dinner. Is any one else combining these meds or some of these meds? Your reaction or side effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie Rose Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Wow Ronnie, Does this combo help you?? I am only on Florinef but want more aggressive medication options but my doctor is just starting the practice and is starting off gently. Meanwhile I can't work because my symptoms change from day to day and on really bad days the florinef doesn't cover the symptoms at all.Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomdeguerre0850 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Wow! That's a lot of medication. Are you monitoring your blood pressure to make sure it doesn't get too high, especially when you're lying down?t'm taking 600mg Northera 3 x day, but stopped taking midodrine when I started on it. Midodrine worked for me, but I would crash when it would wear off. It was really whipsawing me about, and I was even in a wheelchair. I find Northera wears off much more gradually and that has enabled me to get out of the wheelchair. Florinef didn't help me. I actually have a port and administer 1 liter of saline IV every morning.

DonnaD Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 I know it's been years, but I am hoping someone will answer. What happened when you took all 3 Northera, Mido and Fludo???? Already taking Mido and Fludro and doctor is recommending northera as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take midodrine and Northera, but licorice root instead of fludrocortisone. I couldn’t tolerate it and it didn’t help much, but licorice helps without causing any issues. I’ve done fine with these 3 (plus many others) and I need all the help I can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
