Summary
Alder 77381 was diagnosed with POTS, which they believe is a form of long COVID. They were put on 25 mg hydroxyzine nightly and later began tapering off, splitting the tablet in half. Within a week of tapering they had nausea, loss of appetite, anxiety and emotional swings, and asked how long tapering usually takes and whether they would eventually feel better.
