Amilodipine for raynauds

Hi

I was prescribed amlodipine to help the symptoms of raynauds. I've only to take 2.5mg per night and it is not helping at all. Does anyone have any experience with the medication and did it work?

Thanks

I have taken it for years, and about 3 years ago my Raynaud's episodes stopped!! That could be because by then I had Scleroderma for over 40 years but I have to say that I think the Amlodipine helped. I take 10mg each night and the biggest boon for me is that it stopped me getting Migraines. My first Migraine was about the same time as the Raynaud's started and the last one was when the Amlodipine kicked in.

Hi, I take Nifedipine for mine and have for years, it helps enormously!

It didn't work so I'm now on nifedipine at night. Again it's not working, no change what so ever. I feel like nothing's going to work. I don't know if there's anything else to try?
