I’ve been prescribed Fluoxetine for my raynauds 10mg per day, feel so unsure about taking it, has anyone else tried it? Side effects? Effectiveness?

I was on fluoxetine (Prozac) for years for depression, when I finally weaned myself off it I found no difference in my raynauds attacks but then I take nifedipine for Raynauds so was taking both simultaneously.

SRUK has a very informative page about Fluoxetine and its action on Raynauds, worth a read.

Hello, I have tried it. I didnt notice any side effects, but unfortunately it didnt really help the Raynaud's. However, different things work for different people so it is worth a try. I ended up having iloprost infusion as I tried everything and nothing really helped me

Yes, I was prescribed it by Dr Denton at royal free - for Raynaud's v=but it has really helped with the depression that comes along with this condition.
