Cymbalta and POTS

This is not what I wanted to here today. My doctor said the Cymbalta is not a recommended drug to be on with POTS

Im kinda freaking out. I've been on it for about a year now and my depression has been very stable. I mean I have my bad day but nothing like before I went on this medication. It was really helped me so much. I am not sure if I should change to something else. Plus med changes suck. I don't want to go through all that. I'm going to talk to my therapist tomorrow at my appointment and have to see what he thinks.

Ugh this is not the news I was wanting to get.

One of the side effects of Cymbalta is POTS, especially in the first few weeks. It can also surface later. It's possible it's the cause of your POTS

@Cigarguy101 I think your doctor is smart. I wish you the best in getting this sorted out
