masumeh Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 It's been a long time since I read or posted...I've been traveling, then fall final exams and papers, etc. I'm visiting my parents' in Virginia (for anyone who remembers my father-related references, yes, things have changed a lot, for the better! . Well...my point: I missed my period (like 9 days overdue). This should have been my first menses since starting ProAmatine (midodrine), and I'm suspecting the meds. No, I'm not pregnant. Really, no way. I THINK! :0 ....no, like by the time I miss my menses, I'm already puking my guts out, usually, and I feel perfectly fine, POTSy but fine. Did this happen to anyone else on medications for POTS? My doctor and his nurses have never heard of this particular side effect. Thanks all!

masumeh Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 nope, never happened to me during the 5 or 6 years on it...Oh my! You took ProAmatine for 5 years? How was it? My doctor said I could probably get off eventually, like 7 months or so, if my body responded well. But, the benefits have worn off fast.

MightyMouse Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 My dysautonomia didn't come on suddenly; I've had it since birth, so long term treatment is the plan for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 No, it's never happened to me because of meds. Sometimes I'm late just because, but it has never seemed to be because of midrodine or any other med.Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masumeh Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Just wanted to post the exciting conclusion, lol. After a couple weeks of delay (never happened before in my life), I skipped a couple doses of ProAmatine and my period started. I went back to the pills and it seems all back in balance now.
