I was recently prescribed Fludrocortisone 0.1mg Tablets to help manage my Addison's disease. The doctor explained that it helps regulate the balance of salt and water in my body, which is great. However, the list of possible side effects is quite long and a bit scary, especially the urgent ones. I'm a bit worried about experiencing something severe. Has anyone else been on this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad! What were some of the side effects you encountered, and how did you manage them? Also, any tips on how to deal with the more severe side effects would be greatly appreciated.
