Hi!

POTS, suspected hyperpots, and have been struggling profoundly with sleep for the longest time.

I got prescribed clonidine to take at night which has been a total miracle, but I’m noticing problems pop up during the day. I’m struggling with feeling “dull,” reduced focus and difficulty keeping up with task urgency, and honestly just feeling a bit detached. The focus/task urgency part is the most worrisome due to my job.

At the same time, it’s bliss not to wake up several times a night and ruin my next day.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did a different med work better for you for sleep in particular, or do you have any tactics to mitigate these side effects besides a boatload of caffeine?
