Jacquie802 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hi Everyone!So, I saw my doc today and we decided to try a few things....We switched my Toprol XL to the short acting Metoprolol (for various reasons, but mostly because I need it to not stay in my system as long)..As for the Florinef issue (massive headaches) we have decided to lower my dose to .05 mg twice a day and see if that helps me and doesnt cause the headaches...He said that it may be too low of a dose, but we are going to see. If that doesn't help he gave me an RX for Midodrine 10mg 2 to 3 times a day. What doses have others been started at? (Referring to the Midodrine)As for the study update I am going to still have it with my neurologist, because for me to be in the study at my cardio's hospital I would have to see a neuro there and it would be a longer wait, so I am going to stick with what I planned on doing.

taylortotmom Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Good to hear your research dilemma seems to be solved! Never been on Midodrine so can't help you there- maybe someone else can chime in?Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJVDK Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I hope making the changes will help you feel better. As for the Midodrine I started at 5 mg 2 times a day, I was even at a point where I took 2.5 mg 6 times a day it was a cleveland clinic thing they wanted to try. I did the best at 2.5 mgs 3 times a day I took it at 7 am, 1 pm, 6 pm. I wish you the best! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
