I have taken 4mg of Lacidipine for Raynaud's for several years. Nifedipine caused bad headaches so Lacidipine was prescribed instead. I don't get full blown 3 phase Raynaud's attacks these days but my fingers are often blue for long periods of time despite being in a warm environment and my feet suffer quite badly, they are white and I get chilblains in winter sometimes with very nasty purple blisters which are extremely painful. I have now been prescribed Fluoxetine to help with the symptoms. Has anyone else been prescribed this?
