Summary
They caught COVID-19 and then stopped caffeine, DLPA, tobacco and daily Ritalin cold turkey, which they linked to a manic episode from depletion of neurotransmitters. They said they presented similarly to another commenter, and supplements they took seemed to have a noticeable effect over the next three to five months. Two years after the episode, only mild POTS criteria on heart rate remained.
