My 17 yr old daughter has Dysautonomia but not diagnosed POTS specifically, yet. Her sleep quality was very low till she was put in Cyproheptadine 8mg for migraines plus I started giving her Sleep All Night by Akeso. With that combo (they do not help without the other), she falls asleep rather quickly and wakes less through the night, which were two big issues for her. But she would still often have a very hard time waking up in the mornings. We started taking her bp each morning and discovered a correlation with poor waking and low bp, often times extremely low (i.e. 89/48). About 6 weeks ago she started 2.5mg Midodrine, prescribed via cardiologist. Game changer! She used to pass out 5-7 times daily. That has all stopped! And most mornings she is waking up better with a decent bp level. It doesn’t work perfectly every morning, especially if she has pushed hard in her schedule or stressed out, but we are having more good mornings than bad with these three changes in her routine. I do give it to her about 30-60 min before she has to get out of bed. And the best part is less salt intake, which always made her feel even more nauseous and gave her stomach aches.
