When I was on methylphenidate for ADHD, my POTS symptoms disappeared. Now, this was before I knew about POTS and I was not aware of tachycardia yet. BUT when I was on methylphenidate was the only time I've ever been able to be on my feet all day without severe consequences. Methylphenidate has been researched in POTS patients, 77% effective among refractive POTS patients.
So methylphenidate works better than examphetamine based meds? (ie. Ritalin vs. adderal? ).
I have EDS but was told that I do not have POTS. But brain fog is pretty bad. Similar issues with memory but not as severe as above posters. I started on a med that is called vyvanse but so far it seems to cause mild headaches and minimal improvement in focus. Energy levels are better though. Still, the mild headache with it kind of leaves me underwhelmed overall. Now I am wondering if methylphenidate should be considered.

Does anyone have any suggestions for specialists in NSW or Canberra?
I am aware of the 2 that get mentioned for Melbourne but was hoping to find specialists closer to my location since travel is an issue.
