I actually used this supplement that is specifically formulated for POTS by Dr. Driscoll, an optometrist whose life was sidelined by her illness.

I don't usually recommend it although it was VERY helpful because of some of the side effects I experienced at higher doses (throat swelling). At half of the recommended dose though, I felt incredible and it was really the first thing that brought me back to life. I didn't see any other users report that side effect, so it was probably just me.

But the supplement was honestly life changing. I'm glad you are spreading the word. I hope that more folks can know about this, as it is a super easy and relatively cheap treatment.

Currently I am treating my symptoms until my doctors and I can find the root cause. Everything is trial and error. All I can offer is advice on how to manage symptoms. If you want to know what they do go ahead and do your own research. This is what I take on a daily basis. Dosage is what works with me. It's going to be different for everyone else.

I copied and pasted a spreed sheet so the formattings off.

I buy most from Absorb Health, www.absorbyourhealth.com, also custom fees into Canada are not bad. $400 Canadian would probably get you 4 - 5 months of supplements based on my dosages.

I also take medical cannabis daily. I used to take CBD and THC combined using a vaporizer but since I started nootropics I no longer feel the need to use CBD. I have switched to concentrates and have much more effective results. Rick Simon oil seems to be most effective however eating oil on empty stomach makes me symptomatic.

Parasym Plus as mentioned in previous comment: https://www.amazon.com/Vagus-Nerve-Support-Parasym-Plus/dp/B016J8FJYS/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1495550020&sr=8-1&keywords=Parasym+Plus

You could have some vagus nerve dysfunction especially if you have a lot of stress. The vagus nerve is responsible for the Parasympathetic state (rest and digest). It controls the muscles of your digestive system. Anyways, there are supplements that you can use to boost and stimulate this nerve.

• alpha GPC (a form of choline)
  
• Acetyl - Carnitine
  
• Huperzia A
  
• Vitamin B1 Thiamin
  
  I've used this product called Parasym before and it works really well. Also a really cool calming effect too. It has the ingredients I listed above but you can buy em sperate and it would be cheaper.
  
  You could also try a nicotine patch on your stomach haha. Nicotine is very good a stimulating the vagus nerve because it acts on the acetylcholine pathway.
