A member asked:

Just started my midodrine for dysautonomia. when i feel my pulse i can't feel it as much is this from vasoconstriction? i feel better!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Midodrine causes stimulation of the adrenergic receptors, causing vascular constriction and increased blood pressure. It is particularly useful when used before eating, or before standing for prolonged periods. Just curious - did you try Florinef (fludrocortisone) first?
