going_crazy Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Does anyone feel like their long term pain meds are causing dysautonomia? I have been on lortab 10/500 for 6years now and I started having POTS symptoms about two years into it. Of couse each year the dosage increases. I read that narcotics will cause the blood vessels to dilate and release histamine as well, which dilates the vessels too. Anyway, anyone else have a similar case? Eager to hear from you!!

MightyMouse Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Nope, not had a problem with pain meds. I don't take mine every day. Also, I had dysautonomia since birth, so pain meds could not have been the culprit.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Codeine can make my pots worse. My heart can do really weird stuff when I take it. Ditto morphine and tramadol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Any long term meds that one takes can depress the central nervous system. That will provoke more symptoms in most dysautonomia patients.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
