Summary
A person with POTS and ADHD took Vyvanse, which let them get a lot more done during the day but raised their heart rate slightly and left them crashing after 7pm, when they had to go full horizontal mode. Protein shakes or Ensure were a lifesaver for eating when they had no energy to chew. How long they had been ill and how their illness fared overall were not described.
