DAWN Re: dysautonomia - how do YOU control low blood pressure???

[Guest guest]

well since theres no chance of getting pregnant, the midodrine would

definately be good for crisis!! it REALLY works.. you just have to

be careful about it... might even be worht it to get a home blood

pressure monitor (if you dont have one already) just to be sure it

doesnt get too high...

the only side effect i had with midodrine was my scalp crawled.. it

was the wierdest thing and i was told to expect it, but it seriously

felt like bugs on my scalp... lol!! small price to pay though, i got

used to it pretty quick!

i havent had any bloating with the florinef, but i know some people

can... i know what you mean about the side effects... i just tend

to get the wierd ones rather than all of them... lol!
