Blotchy Skin--Help!

Hi guys,

I also just happened on this website last week after yet another humiliating red/splotchy incident at law school...and, of course, my fellow law students just had to make it worse by bringing it to my attention. Anyhow, i went to my doctor tuesday and got a prescription for 5mg of inderal. I take 2.5 mg of prinivil/day for high blood pressure, and my bp is right at 120/80. The doctor was a little hesitant to prescribe inderal to me b/c it may have a synergestic effect with the prinivil and lower my bp even more. But, after my desperate pleas, she agreed to give me a very low dosage as a trial. I plan to try it within the next few days, so hopefully i won`t pass out!

Thank you all for your posts! it feels so good knowing other people go through this!

Well, i tried 10mg of inderal last week about an hour before i knew i would have an incident...it made me feel a little more calm, but i still got red and splotchy. However, it did take a substantially shorter time for the splotches to go away (like 10 minutes)...i also totally limited my caffeine that day, so i don`t know why it was not 100% effective on me. I must need a higher dosage...just thought i would keep you guys posted.
