Jessica_ Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 So I just got home from my appointment with my new neurologist and he said all my labs are normal (is it weird to not want a normal lab? Lol) so I don’t have celiac or MCAS or autoimmune dz which I am actually grateful for. He says I have Idiopathic Dysautonomia so they basically don’t know my cause. He recommended I try Klonopin to help with my anxiety and adrenaline attacks. The way he put it is my nerves are just firing off norepinephrine in my body so my body is over responding to little stimulation (like when I drive or am in a crowd) now to my question; anyone else with hyper pots tried Klonopin and what was your response to it? Anybody on a beta blocker with their klonopin? Crazy to have anxiety about taking an anxiety medicine! Quote
Always hoping Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 While no beta blockers or hyper pots, I have taken klonopin occasionally for adrenaline surges and found it helpful. I understand being anxious about taking meds since I react strangely to everything. The klonopin didn't affect me in any way but would 'calm' my system. Good luck! Quote
Jessica_ Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Posted February 4, 2018 Thank you! I also respond weird to meds. I still haven’t dared try it but I’m going to take one today and see how it goes 🤞🏻 Quote
Always hoping Posted February 6, 2018 Report Posted February 6, 2018 I hope it went well! Fingers crossed for you. Quote
