Jacquie802 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi guys,I go see my Neuro tomorrow for a follow up. I am just wondering if there are any other meds I could take with Florinef to get my bp to go up? The Florinef has helped somewhat but my bp hasn't really gone up at all. It's still 90/60. After I stand for a lil while my legs feel soo heavy and I get this odd lightheaded feeling. I hope I find something more to help me.Anyhow, any suggestions are appreciated, like always !Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCsunshine Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well I'd leave it to your doctor to provide suggestions on what is right for you.I take Florinef, too, and I find it effective with atenolol (beta blocker). Lexapro has also been shown effective in OI patients. Yes, it's an anti-depressant, but my neurologist was very excited about it when I saw him last week. I may try it soon and see how it goes for me. He told me it has a low risk of side effects.Just a thought... but talk to your doctor!

gdomaracki Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Talking to your doctor about Midodrine. It has helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsakatsa Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Provigil. Love it. Want to marry it. It's a stimulant and I've enjoyed lovely blood pressure since being on it (I was the queen of the 70/40s before- now I am 110/80 usually) Good luck. I think there are quite alot of options out there!
