I have tried Nifedipine andLosartan for Raynauds, but both gave me terrible night time itching. Is there a medication that won't give me this as a side effect?

Prozac and sildenafil are also options for raynauds.

I don’t think that Prozac would, and I have been on both but different people experience different side effects, sometimes you have to try them until you find one that suits you.

Thanks for this post, I take nifedipine and have had quite as lot of irritating itching which puzzled me. I have been "plastering" on aqueous calamine ,which I will continue as the nifedipine really helps with the Raynaud's I think the slightly warmer weather also is a contributor, says on my script only to be used in the colder months
