LMG Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi AllI am taking a low dose SSRI which helps a little. Finally worked up the courage to try florinef, and am taking 1/4 to 1/3 of a pill daily. Both help a little.I get migraines, and they are more severe with POTS. THe neuro suggested a beta blocker (or topomax or Pamelor) and felt that maybe the beta blocker would help with migraines and POTS. It seems like a lot to take, considering how sensitive we are. I have profound fatigue, tachychardia but do have a low resting heart rate.Anyone else on multiple therapies and doing ok?I also salt load, take potassium and drink lots of fluids.I feel pretty stuck right now...back in bed due to headaches so I have to try something.Thanks.

Lemons2lemonade Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I did for one week while things were crashing. It was the worst week of my life, don't know if it was the pots or the meds--midodrine was also in that mix. Anyhow, they basically admitted me to the hospital for detox and removed the beta blocker and midodrine. However, when I was on the beta blocker, florinef, and Citalopram my heart rate dropped significantly, especially after the citalopram. I learned something important though, and that is that more meds aren't always better. Unfortunately we all react different to medications, and I think a big part of managing pots is finding the right combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
