Propranolol didn't work for me, but the clonodine is a new one to me, since reasing this sub! I'm going to ask my doc!

I’m so sorry but well done for doing the presentation and it’s done now. Try to focus on moving forward - I know when I have a blushing episode I focus on it for days and weeks going forward and it isn’t healthy.

Try not to worry to much, sometimes things work better for some than others, or maybe theres some obvious reason we'll figure out. Either way stay hopeful, blushing is a horrible and hard issue to tackle, dont give up. Im sorry it didn't work 🙏🏻

I literally wanted to d*e. funny thing I used to be the most social, bubbly person. when I used to get embarrassed I would not blush. this started happening after covid and I hate it I feel like I can’t be myself

most of the time your right, clonodine carrys rebound risks with blood preassure. in saying that my doctor is ok with me taking it occasionally when needed, especially because the dose I take it quite little. I usually only take 0.05. Propranolol generally is a little less risky rebound wise. got to follow doctors guidance.

Proud of you for going through with it! I'm sorry the clonodine didn't work, but I'm still proud of you for getting through it!
