Midodrine Is A Nightmare

Taking midodrine is absolutely horrific. For those of you who don't know what this drug does, it's a vasopressor and is supposed to raise your blood pressure. My Electrophysiologist (EP)wanted me to try this out for a while to see if it helped with my postural orthostatic tachycardia. Well it's some of the nastiest stuff. Within 35 minutes of taking it, I feel like bugs are crawling on my skin. My hair feels like it's going to lift off my scalp and it makes me extremely anxious and nervous. And the worst part? It doesn't work at all.

I can see why there was such a large early drop out rate in the clinical studies. I wouldn't have made it through one either.

On the 13, I go for my Tilt-Table Test. I'll be sure to let everyone know how hellish it was. I kind of hope that I pass out on the table.
