florinef every other day?

[pinky]

I want to take my tiny dose of florinef every other day and sometimes every day depending on my blood pressure. does anyone here do this, or know if it would cause me harm. It's been working fine for me this way but I know I need to ask some doctors about this. Having peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy and taking paxil, Toprol, florinef and mestinon and sometimes my BP runs low for a little while and sometimes it runs a little high and when it runs a little high I need to throttle back on something to prevent headaches. I tried cutting back on the mestinon dose last year and it didn't effect the BP fast enough or at all.

I take florinef every other day because it makes my migraines worse if I take it daily. It works for me. It would be more effective if I could take it daily but a lower heart rate and a worse migraine cancel each other out from a functional perspective.  The only thing I would say is I notice my thirst varies with the days I take it, so I have to be careful to keep drinking even when I'm not as thirsty.

 If your BP is going too high on some days, I would let your dr know right away.  Florinef does not have an immediate effect like midodrine.  It takes time to build up in your system and if you miss a dose, the prior dose is still in your system for up to two weeks.  It is not something like Tylenol which wears off in a couple of hours. And you generally have to be consistent in your dosing.  Your doctor will know best.

thanks ya'll, sorry I have been plumb busy lately and neglected to get back here. I get so forgetfull sometimes. when I say my BP gets too high, I mean it is high for me, high enough to cause head aches, 150 over 85 will begin to cause this problem with me if it stays there. normally my BP is kinda low if I am not taking florinef and mestinon here and there. the problem with me taking a steady dose every day is that my BP is not consistant, I tell all my doctors this and most the time I get a perplexed look, Ive been called a complicated case by a lot of them.
