ramakentesh Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Peripheral blood pooling can be helped with alpha agonists which are peripheral vasoconstrictors such as midodrine, DHE, etc. Currently octreotide is being investigated as a treatment for stomach pooling.

Radha Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 so no one has heard or or used celexa for blood pooling? Radha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 My understanding was that some doctors believe that serotonin reuptake inhibators increase blood pressure and vasoconstriction and have been helpful in some POTS patients. So maybe it will help ypour pooling through its vasoconstrictive actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
