I use this medication for my low blood pressure. It's helped me live a normal life without feeling dizzy and tired all the time.

After awhile it seems that it doesn't work as well. I am now at the max dose and am starting to see problems again.

I recently changed to the generic from Florinef. It seems to behave differently. Not as consistent results and easily creates poor effects.

For me, I don't exactly know how much this medicine has helped me. I would pass out from standing too quickly or if I excersise too much. I didn't pass out as much as I would get dizzy spells. I usually get them all the time but since my cardiologist perscribed this medicine to me, they have gotten a little better. I don't get dizzy spells as often although they do still occur, and I can actually keep up with the excersises in my gym class. I can say that it has helped me along for strengthing my heart and keeping my blood pressure up. The only time I have passed out on this medication was when I was at my homecoming dance and I passed out 3 times on the way to the hospital in the ambulance, but other than that, I haven't had any major episodes. I am only 15 so the results might have vary for people older than me but I would suggest this medicine.Read More Read Less

It's amazing that this one little pill can make such a difference. I typically would "black out" when standing up approximately 10-12 times a day. Now it happens only once a day.
