Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Is there any evidence that ssri's in general are helpful to rosacea, or that any one in particular (eg effexor) is? I'm trying to search the archives but am having issues with the search feature. Also, VIAGRA. Would that be likely to aggravate R.? Sorry to repeat myself a bit. If noone replies to this I'll desist.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 A few days ago Matija was nice enough to post an article about a clinical study of 24 patients with Erythromelalgia who's facial flushing and facial burning were reduced as a result of taking Effexor. I believe its also been used successfully to treat women suffering from hot flashes. I don't know if there are any studies that have been done testing effexor specifically for cea.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 re Viagra as a flush inducer : YES. If I remember the minutia correctly, There are a number of PDE's in the body, mostly specific to body areas. PDE-5 mainly in the penis, PDE-1 mainly in the face. PDE's break down Nitrous Oxide (NO relaxes the blood vessal walls allowing dialation). Viagra works by inibiting PDE-5. Unfortunately while more effective vs PDE-5, it is also somewhat effective vs PDE-1, thus the facial flushing side effect in about 10% of the general population. It would probably be 80% in ceans. Cialis (awaiting final approval by FDA) is specific to PDE-5 and not effective at all vs PDE-1, so that will be safe for ceans. In fact, it doesn't show Facial Flushing as a side effect at all. > A few days ago Matija was nice enough to post an article about a clinical > study of 24 patients with Erythromelalgia who's facial flushing and facial > burning were reduced as a result of taking Effexor.
