I have had a cocktail of various things... Corracten, Losartan, Sildenafil and Prozac, which all open the blood vessels), as well as something for the stomach ( to fight the "E" in CREST - can't remember the name though) and Dovobet cream for morphea.

All of those seem to be pretty commonly prescribed. Its hard to say what really helped me, due to the excessive amount of drugs... but after having had a brief break from Sildenafil and worsening symtoms with that, i have now improved again after being back on it. So this one helps me for sure!

Check with your specialist though, as different things might work better for you. Good luck!
