Thanks everyone for your response! Anna...There are no family members with Autism. Since my psychiatrist would not give me sleep medication I went to the ER a little over a week before my doctors appointment. I was so surprised that in the small town in which I live the intern at the ER was well informed about POTS. My psychiatrist is also well informed and certainly knows more than I do. What was upsetting to me on the 16th my psychiatrist told me that POTS is very rare and that Bipolar is very common, I felt he was indicating that I couldn't have POTS because of how rare it is. I have told him several times I was diagnosed with POTS at the Cleveland Clinic and that a tilt table test was done. Getting back to my ER visit, I was given a prescription of Xanax to help me sleep, the next morning I woke up a different person, I actually felt like getting out of bed. I was able to do several actives that usually are very difficult for me. I went 11 days without any POTS symptoms. I have never had 11 normal days in a row for at least 13-15 years. The 12 day I had an appointment with my therapist, he went over the doctors notes and I was upset about them as he made it sound like I was refusing treatment. I had told the psychiatrist that I really feel the lack of sleep for so many years is causing my POTS symptoms and I wanted to try the Xanax for 4 weeks, if I crashed in that time period I'd take his advice and go on a mood stabilizer and back on the Cymbalta. I told him I didn't need a prescription of Cymbalta since I had enough if I felt I needed to go back on it if I felt depressed again. The stress from the my appointment today brought on a few slight POTS symptoms, dizziness, anxiety, and of course depression. Since the prescription of Clonazepan he prescribed isn't work as it's just after 1am I feel I will probably crash again soon. Thanks for reading my post.
