i think it depends on the medication you are on. i think a lot of people with POTS take florinef to increase their blood pressure. A side effect of Florinef is that it reduces the potassium in your body. I just make sure I eat food high in potassium on a daily basis. -lisa

i took topamax for a very short time period b/c it gave me horrible heart palpatations. i couldn't even stand up or walk across the room without getting severe and frequent palpatations. i tried both topamax and depakote for migraines and i had very severe side effects with both of them. when i was on the depakote i was so tired i could hardly move and my blood count got so low they thought i had cancer. as soon as i went off of both medicines all of my symptoms went away.
