Feeling Tired on Propranolol for POTS

Folks who takes propranolol for POTS, anyone feel SUPER tired when it starts wearing off and it’s time for another dose?

I’m not entirely sure what POTS is but I feel tired all day long. I’ve been on it for 20 years.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I deal with chronic fatigue as well from other conditions, but it seems especially bad around the 7-8 hour mark on propranolol with regularity. POTS = Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Basically bend over/get up/change positions too fast and my heart started pounding rapidly.

I can feel it wearing off after like 4 or 5 hours

I don't. I think I had some issues back when I took the short acting one but on the extended release there's been no side effects

Ah I wasn’t aware there was an extended release version! How long does it last and no extra fatigue, if you don’t mind my asking?

Yes! I was feeling exhausted!
