gdomaracki Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Florinef, I know its been discussed many times before. I was taking it 2 months ago, when my blood pressure skyrocketed. I was on .2mg 3x daily. So, the cardio took me completely off of the medication which I didn't quite understand, but anyways. My new pots doctor has put me back on florinef but only .1mg 1xdaily. I am noticing a higher resting heart rate along with feeling more tachy, shaky, nervous, and trouble sleeping. I did have problems with these symptoms before while on florinef before, but they seemed to go away. The florinef is giving me a little boost, so I am trying to stick it out. Any suggestions?!? *(I go to my pots doc tomm)* Thanks! Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 .6 mg a day is a HUGE dose of florinef! .1 or .2 per day is standard, and if I recall correctly, Dr.Grubb doesn't suggest any more than .3 mg in a day. It can take a few weeks to see results as it's a med that has to build up in your system.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 i second what nina said about the doses. while on rare occasions people are put on higher doses it's definitely not the standard operating procedure....and yep, it takes a long time for florinef to "kick in"hope your appt today went well... melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
