> What do you think?Speaking for myself only, I found orthostatic hypotension to be a problem during the first week or two. It was fairly mild. I experience no hypotension whatsoever now. I currently take 30 mg/day after a careful titraton. Most people are likely to respond to 15 mg/day.
It is critical to take your first 1 mg dose at bedtime. Otherwise, there is a risk of syncope. You can then begin titrating the dosage according the manufacturer's recommendations.
"DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONThe dose of MINIPRESS should be adjusted according to the patient's individual blood pressure response. The following is a guide to its administration:
Initial Dose1 mg two or three times a day (see WARNINGS.)
Maintenance DoseDosage may be slowly increased to a total daily dose of 20 mg given in divided doses. The therapeutic dosages most commonly employed have ranged from 6 mg to 15 mg daily given in divided doses. Doses higher than 20 mg usually do not increase efficacy, however a few patients may benefit from further increases up to a daily dose of 40 mg given in divided doses. After initial titration some patients can be maintained adequately on a twice daily dosage regimen."
