Has anyone taken Fludrocortisone? Need advice.

has anyone taken fludrocortisone? my doctor insists it’s not dangerous but i’m really skeptical and not sure if it’d be worth it to take

CT1409

Yes, I've been taking it since December 2020. I can definitely tell when I haven't taken it, and it helps so much.

What is it you're worried about?

I’ve taken it for years, and I think it definitely helps me! I take it with atenolol, and I am much, much more functional with these meds than without them. Like CT1409, I definitely know when I miss a dose

I’ve been on it for about two years now and it’s a life saver for me I’ve had no bad things happen

I was on it for approximately a year and experienced no adverse affects from the medication but also experienced very little improvement to my condition.

I took it for months, the only change I noticed was a ton of weight gain so I had it discontinued.
