Life with Midodrine 2.5mg Tablets: Managing Orthostatic Hypotension

I was recently prescribed Midodrine 2.5mg Tablets to manage my orthostatic hypotension. This condition has been causing dizziness and fainting spells whenever I stand up, and it's been a real struggle. The doctor explained that Midodrine works by tightening my blood vessels to raise my blood pressure, which should help with the symptoms. However, I'm a bit concerned about the side effects, especially the urgent ones like signs of an allergic reaction or high blood pressure. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? How have you managed the side effects? Any tips on how to remember to take it only when I'm awake and upright?
