Summary
A person with hyperadrenic POTS and orthostatic intolerance said small amounts of stimulants such as Adderall and Sudafed kept blood pressure steadier, prevented adrenaline surges, lowered heart rate, improved function and let their brain work for a bit; compression leggings were as important as stimulants to them. They said an Adderall prescription changed their life, though too much could cause a crash.

If I take a small amount of Sudafed, Adderall, caffeine, etc. before I get woozy it keeps my blood pressure stable and I can prevent that adrenaline surge
