Hi. I’m re-trialing Midodrine for the second time. First time, I got dystonia and didn’t get up to a second dose as the first one would wear off and I’d crash badly. This time around, I’m going way slower. Started with a 1/4 pill of 2.5 mg and went up to that twice a day, then a hakf pill once and quarter second dose, and then a half pill twice a day. When I bumped up to a second pill I got a locked jaw on the second dose, and then both doses the next day. I also haven’t been sleeping well and under tremendous home stress. So maybe wasn’t the time to bump up the dose. I’m considering just doing a 1/4 pill today for second dose and if jaw better, re-trying half each dose the next day.
Has anyone had a similar side effect? If so, did it go away? I’m hoping my body will get used to it and will go away, but also worried a full pill twice a day will be unachievable.
I’m not getting much therapeutic benefit from these doses yet. If anything when the second one wears off I’m crashing again and almost fainting.
