Default midodrine

I have been taking midodrine for about two months. The itching and chills which I at first experienced have gone away. Is there anny time limit for taking this? Any comments?

Itching and chills are no a side effect of this med. It also does not say anything about how long you can use this drug. You might want to talk o you doctor about how long you should be on this med.

You will find a list of side effects (which include itching and chills) at
http://midodrine.drugs.com

What are the possible side effects of midodrine?
• In some cases, midodrine may cause an excessive increase in blood pressure, especially when lying down. Contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical attention if you experience an unusual awareness of heartbeats, pounding in the ears, headache, or blurred vision. These may be signs of increased blood pressure.
• In some cases, increased blood pressure may cause a slowed heart rate. Contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical attention if you experience decreased pulse rate, increased dizziness, fainting, or an unusual awareness of heartbeats. These may be signs of a slowed heart rate.
• If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking midodrine and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
· an allergic reaction (shortness of breath; closing of the throat; hives; swelling of the lips, face, or tongue; rash; or fainting); or
· irregular heartbeats, fluttering feeling in the chest, or chest pain.
• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take midodrine and talk to your doctor if you experience
· chills or goosebumps;
· itching or tingling of the skin;
· increased need to urinate or difficulty with urination;
· feeling of pressure or fullness in the head;
· dryness of the mouth; or
· nervousness or anxiety.
• Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
