Hello all
im just wondering about people’s experiences of taking ssri and how it impacted PoTs?
I’ve been considering going back on one as I think it used to help with sleep and occasional ocd type anxiety which I really struggle With at times.
But I’m frightened to death it will trigger my Pots off. At the moment this is very well controlled by lifestyle and medication. Thank goodness as it was a long road.
I have Eds so my pots is likely secondary to that for reference.
The ssri I was on previously was citalopram. It’s so hard to know what’s what as I was so poorly with pots for years and that was given to me as the doctors were at a loss. But in hindsight I think it probably helped in some ways but because I was taking it when so poorly, I keep worrying it’ll make me really tired and dizzy? I’m confused.
mum of two boys so I need to stay well for them.
I’ve got a gp appointment booked.
thank you in advance :)
