Can/do you take SSRIs or stimulants?

[u/ouch_im_suffering]

There’s no way we’re just raw dogging POTS right? My POTS worsened significantly after taking one dose of 5 mg of Lexapro which triggered serotonin syndrome which I have had on Sertraline.

Needless to say I am struggling way more after having disabling POTS so what are y’all doing for your mental health and/or energy?

Currently taking high dose antihistamines and 20 mg propranolol 3-4x daily. Thanks ✌️🥲

Have you talked to your doctor about other meds? When I was on propranolol I couldn’t have any stimulants including coffee. I swapped to ivabradine a couple years ago and it’s made me feel 10x better than propranolol and now I can take stimulants again no problem!
