I am so sorry to hear that!! Did you feel worse or the same. That is just too bad. Hang in there though, dysautonomia international has great research into pots that looks promising!No, I didn't improve. I had a big crush(
My heart beat on gelantamine was about 10 to 20 beats less per minute but I still had POTS symptoms. My sleep didn't improve. After 3 months I stoped taking Gelantamine. It wasn't for me but everybody is different.

I know nicotine helps, ever so briefly, with a lot of my standard symptoms....Nicotine is an ACH agonist, while galantamine is ACHesterase inhibitor.
i'm taking galantamine - i really noticed that first dose of 4mg. this drug does things. i am hopeful. it felt a little like Phenylpiracetam.
since the effect was so pronounced, i cut the galantamine back to 2 mg as i think 4 mg is too high for me to start at. i also take LDN and ibudilast. re LDN, i started to have problems sleeping and was feeling some heavyness from it, so i did what is recommended and took a holiday and lowered the dose - something to keep in mind if you take LDN - and it seems to have worked.

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted but I'm still following y'al., quietly observing, which is what I do best.
I too have a "pain reduction success" @serusaert with LDN. but my sleep is horrid. It has been ever since I did a wash out of my nutrients over 1 1/2 years ago, I can't find a comfortable spot. I've gain a lot of weight after my diverticulitus attack and than my broken wrist in 2018. I feel it's my thyroid and my sedentary lifestyle due to knee issues.
LDN is really helping my bone on bone knee and my necrotic humerus (it has been a BEAR to regulate though) I don't understand HOW but I'll take it!
Bloodwork and a nutreval in a few weeks will be all telling, I imagine.
I'm interested in galantamine, ibudilast as well if you have an update @serusaert. I guess @Eve18 gave up on the galantimine, understandibly so.
I've sent back the Vielight 633. The only success with that was, it deminished the ulgyness of a 17 stitch scar on my lower leg. Like who cares. I had such hopes.
Oh well, we try, we learn, we move on.
OH, I'm using Gaia sleep and relax with MUCH SUCCESS along with rotating 3g of glycine and inositol. Happy Healing to all XO C
