User Reviews for fludrocortisone oral

The medication makes me nausaus and very sick.

I started this drug 12/10. After about 6 months I started having intermittent symptoms that have as of about 18 months ago escalated to heart failure symptoms and tests showing this new phenomenon. Symptoms are on the Severe reaction list for the drug: heart failure, severe edema in abdomen and legs, weakness, shortness of breath. Be careful to note all changes when they begin. I have never really been too well every since my adrenals were removed ( due to inoperable ATCH pituitary tumor).

This medication has been very helpful to me as for years have unknowingly suffered from low blood pressure causing me to pass/faint or collapse. Since being perscribed this medication It has fixed the problem which caused me to pass out and suffer a traumatic brain injury.

BLOOD PRESSURE TOO HIGH.

Since I have been taking this drug I have been extremely depressed. It has helped my symptoms but the depression is extreme and I have a lot of swell on in my hands. I also take Zoloft with this medications and the depression just seems to be getting worse.

Bladder problems, low back pain, headache

I have low blood pressure. First Dr. said take only when experiencing symptoms now take every day. I have gained weight with this medication. around my stomach. Does Fludrocortisone cause weight gain. We can't seem to control the low Blood Pressure. It's been going on for quite a few months. I get veru sleepy and don't feel good till the symptoms go away.

I would like to know any side effects from this medication

I have Kidney cancer stage IV and lost one Adrenal gland 10 months ago, just lost half of the one left. Only been on the drug for three days but I have so much more energy. I love it. No side effects yet.

I've been admitted in the hospital twice last month. My potassium levels were always on the low side. I now feel less tired and my muscle weakness is gone

i have had low blood pressure since i was 12 years old... i started to realize that i was dizzy when i stood up and when i became active in heat... i started passing out and blacking out... when i went to the hospital and the cardiologist gave me this drug. i was on it for a long time until i was to old for health insurance and have been off it since... i have has signs of my LBP coming back and i wish i could afford to get back on it... noting has helped me like this drug.

My condition of fainting has improved greatly but the excessive weight gain has me second guessing continuing the medication

My doctor is awesome and thankfully had already started me on the medication before my test results even came back because of the extremely low blood pressure. No significant side effects EXCEPT weight gain. I've gained about 40 lbs. Not Good.

My daughter still has chest pain. I dont know if this is working but, she shouldnt still have somewhat severe chest pain at times!!!!

so far so good. I'm taking it for neuro cardio genesis. Low blood pressure when it does not go back to my brain. That is when I black out and hurt myself.

sleepy-dizzy-

It works better for me if I take 3-4 pills a day.

after a couple of years starting to get my lightheadness bach and will need to see my doctor if he can increase dose
