I'm confused....my doctor suggested that I try Strattera or Effexor for my POTS symptoms. But my partner is on Strattera for AD/HD and often experiences side effects similar to some of my POTS symptoms (fight or flight response, sweating, flushing, BP irregularities). If I understand the drug correctly, it's blocking the re-uptake of norepinephrine and therefore staying at the synapses where it's needed for AD/HD. Why would that be helpful for my potsy stuff. It seems to me like I'd need something that does the exact opposite, right? Is there such a med? I haven't explored the Effexor suggestion but I know it's an SNRI which I think blocks the re-uptake of seratonin and norepinephrine. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
