I was put on a low dose for POTS .1mg. The first month I did feel better and it seemed to slow down my POTs attacks. However after 3 months on it my heart rate stayed elevated. I had severe head pain, high heart rate, my BP was also going crazy. It would go from 100/60 to 140/90 very quickly. I felt like I had ran a marathon every day. I lost 5 lbs. in a week. I believe it was from the high heart rate. I did not need to loose weight normal I weigh 110lbs. They have decreased the dosage and I am feeling better. I think everyone responds different to medication. I do not think this medication is for me. I would rather deal with my Pots symptoms and the syncope than feeling like I am running a marathon every second of everyday. Just my experience with it, hope it helps someone who maybe experiencing the same thing not feel as alone as I did.
