im afraid creepy u may be wrong.
norepinephrine may constrict blood vessels in the nose, but most likely not the ones in the hands or peripherlaly.
im pretty sure it's a common side effect of an SSRI, especially after just being on it a few days. I almost felt alternating days of cold hands and some days i didn't feel it at all.
It can be autoimmune, but again. with SSRI's they can thin your blood, or make you bleed. so just like an aspirin can bring on Reynaud's phenomenon so does an SSRI, specially ones that have more anti-platelet activity than others.
current meds: lyrica 150 x2, klonopin .5 prn, trazodone 50mg PRN, trileptal 300 mg x2.
on the burner: lamictal, amantadine, luvox, savella
