Dysautonomia pots, midodrine makes me feel dizzy and worse? 2.5mg why would this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: All drugs have a potential for idiosyncratic potential adverse reactions. If I were you, I'd stop the midodrine. Try simple remedies like liberalizing your salt and water intake (eat daily potato chips and salted nuts and drink plenty of water with them). Good luck!
