POTS/SSRI med/Increased intracranial pressure

[Guest guest]

I just started taking Prozac 10mg once a day to help with POTS

symptoms. I'm not really sure this is going to help me, but I'm

willing to try. I have noticed that over the last few days, the

pressure headaches have been worse. I normally don't have the

pressure headaches unless I am exerting myself, so this is new for

me to have the headaches while just sitting on the couch or doing

nothing. I was wondering if the Prozac can increase the pressure.

I'm trying to figure out what helps my ACM/POTS symptoms without

having surgery, but I don't want to trade a problem for a problem.

If the SSRI medication does not work out, does anyone know of any

other type of medication that helps with POTS (besides a beta

blocker, which I already take)? I was given a script of Diamox from

Dr. B at TCI, but my dyautonomia problems are so much worse when I

get dehydrated, so I a bit nervous to try that one.

I'm trying to get all of this figured out for the new year. I

really would like to get some relief soon, without the surgery,

which scares to death!

Thanks for the support!
