goldicedance Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Has anyone tried Ritalin with or in place of Midodrin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia3 Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 No, I have not tried Ritalin but when I have to take Sudafed (Plain kind w/o antihistamine) it revs me up so much I have to take extra beta blocker and xanax to counteract the jitters.Ritalin passes the blood brain barrier (Unlike Midodrine as they are very much related) but since Midodrine does NOT pass the BBB, most of us do not get the jitters/worsening of tremors that Ritalin and a vast variety of stimulants can cause.This is way more than you wanted to know wasn't it?

ethansmom Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I've never heard of this as an alternative to Midodrine. I would think it would be too stimulating as well = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiara Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I got a high BP and a lot of migrainesymptoms from Ritalin. So I stopped it after some days. But I feel much better with Guanfacin for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
