Is The Medicine, Clonazepam, Effective In Treating Flushing (when Emotionally High) And What Are The Side Effects?

Hello,
i am currently experiencing flushing when i am nervous, anxious, angry, happy basically any emotion in excess, I am somewhat of an anxious person but this flushing is giving me more anxiety and is affecting my self-esteem. I read on a forum that clonazepam has completly stoped peoples flushing/blushing, I'm just wondering could this be an option for me, and also what the side effects of this drug. thank you

hi
thanks for choosing healthcare magic

In low dose clonazepam is a anxiolytic drug. It would help u to decrease anxiety, but continue use of it could make u dependent upon it. Second with time, tolerance can develop, which could lead to increase need of dose. After long treatment duration, it would cause withdrawal symptoms. In short term, it is safe and u can take it on sos basis.

thanks
