I've taken Prozac for depression for years and coincidentally have lupus and raynauds. The raynauds is prob helped by the Prozac as it is rarely troublesome or painful . Prozac has never given me problems and helps me cope better with the lupus pain etc . Good luck.

Tx to all who responded to me before x

Hi I don't take meds for my raynauds but I so find ginger tea helps when you have an attack. Not like the tea bags which are too weak. I boil water with fresh ginger a fair bit got 10 mins then add a sachet of gold killi ginger tea drink juice of 1 lemon and 3 teaspoons of honey. I get about 3 mugs from that amount

Hi I tried it this summer and it helped with the Raynauds but unfortunately I had horrible side effects with it and eeventually stopped. My moto try anything once to see if it helps. Good luck x
