    Hi! Midodrine helps me a lot (I have POTS). But unfortunately, I don't live in the USA. Tell me, are there any ways to buy midodrine inexpensively? On services like costplusdrugs, for example

    Could I easily make my own topical midodrine cream?

    I have midodrine pills (5mg), but do not want to take it orally anymore. I want to make what this paper is proposing: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/fullarticle/2290938 "Midodrine, 0.2%, in a moisturizing skin cream (Vanicream) was compounded at the Mayo Clinic pharmacy and...

    Addressing blood pooling

    Vascular dysregulation has been one of my most pressing Long covid symtoms. The worst part about it is the blood pooling in my feet. In the beginning I could sit up to work without issues. Around one year into the illness, I had one episode where I believe I overexerted myself, mainly my legs...

    Has anyone had Midodrine make them sedated like a sleeping pill?

    I couldn't find a thread on this particular aspect of Midodrine and really wanted to get some feedback. I was started on Midodrine by my new cardiologist in the hospital, first at 2.5 mg 2x/day and now at 5 mg 2x/day. The goal was to raise my BP (which is in the 80's/50's without Midodrine)...
