Rx for POTS: Often treatment for POTS symptoms is done with SSRI medication, adding salt, florinef, (fludrocortisone) midodrine, or compression stockings. Sometimes beta blockers may help. I have not heard anyone use ADD medicines. Do you have POTS? It is not an easy diagnosis to make, although changes in your blood pressure from lying to standing might indicate it.
