andybonse Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 So 0.1mg stopped working for my symptoms and been feeling so bad lately after years of being on the drug. My aldosterone was suppressed & low potassium which meant the drug was working but now my aldosterone is high & fantastic potassium suggesting not working like it was before. I upped my pill by only a quarter 2 days ago, so I am now on 1 and 1/4 pills per day. After the first dose increase and several hours I felt fantastic compared to how I'd been feeling and 2 days later still do, I am not lightheaded and I can think, its wonderful! If it possible for such a small increase to work so well do you think? I know it is a potent steroid. I've noticed I am a lot more short of breath with it though, like I used to be when I was building up, so maybe the effects are from the fludro! If so, I am going to come back down until my shortness of breath has gone and when lightheadedness returns up it a quarter again and keep repeating to see how I get on. Doctors are not really clued up on all this lol. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombsh3ll Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'm so glad you're having positive results from the fludrocortisone increase (and rather jealous!) I am sure the drug's onset of action really is that quick, as that is the time frame in which it makes me feel awful when I have tried it! Hope it continues working well for you!
