I deal with excessive blushing, which is brought on by just about anything and anyone.
I am wondering if anyone has had success with medication that has helped decrease blushing/anxiety? If so, which ones?
I have tried clonazepam, however, don't like the idea of the 'instant fix' and taking it on a regular basis. I have tried a variety of SSRIs, at increased dosages. They seem to delay the panic/blushing attacks, and decrease them slightly.
My other dilemma is that I would like to conceive at some point in the next year or so. After much discussion with my drs it seems that it may be more beneficial for me to remain on meds during my pregnancy as the benefits seems to outweigh the risks considering the severity of my anxiety. This has been a very difficult time for me, as I'm not sure what to do. Any advice? Have any of you used medication throughout a pregnancy?
