Here's a few meds my lovely neurologist at the Mayo autonomic disorders program and I discussed that I would recommend looking into, depending on your specific causes of dysautonomia and comorbidities:

- guanfacine if you have brain fog/ADHD and hyperadrenergic subtype and tend towards high bp (which it sounds like you may not have given your poor response to beta blockers)
- pyridostigmine if you have dysmotility/GI issues/constipation, helps with venous return
- midodrine if you have hypovolemia and tend towards low bp
- mirtazapine--not exactly sure how it helps with dysautonomia but good if you have GI issues too and could help with depression/anxiety. also puts me to sleep
- ivabradine if your HR is too high after beta blockers
- B12, folate, iron, D, calcium, etc. only if you're deficient
- of course tons of salt and water and compression as you're probably very familiar

@olivepchaps thanks for the list of meds. Never heard of some of them and can’t wait to ask about some of them with my docs. The brain fog is horrible. Can’t even remember TV shows I’ve watched recently. And yeah, lots of salt! Again thanks and hope you’re feeling better.
