Anyone On Pindolol?

[Holly]

Hi everyone,

Thank you to everyone who responded to my last post about being new here. It is SO very helpful to know that I am not alone in this fight!

I am currently taking Midodrine at a very low dose. Today my cardio suggested that I start taking pindolol, to help control tachy. Anyone else have this drug? I'm nervous about starting anything new, since I've had some unpleasant reactions in the past.

Thanks for all of your input.

Hi Holly,

I have tried Pindolol for the tachy and the problem for me was severe insomnia from it, so I had to quit taking it because of that. It's a typical beta blocker which I haven't had luck with yet, so depending on how well you react to Beta blockers may depend how well you'll do with Pindolol. Hopefully it will work for you, otherwise, if you can tolerate trying other ones, there's a ton of different meds to help the tachy that hopefully you can find one that will work. I haven't found one that worked for me yet, but still trying different ones periodically.

I've never taken any beta blockers before, so this is a first for me. I really don't need any insomnia, already have that going on.

I took a low dose of pindolol and it worked well for me.

I took pindolol for nearly 2 years, and it worked for me during that time with very few side effects. I was taking 5 mg during the majority of my time on it. It's a fairly gentle beta blocker; you should be fine.
