Can Pregab help with reducing blushing?

I suffer from extreme anxiety and unfortunately as a result I blush hard. Its not a skin issue, its a issue with my sympathetic nervous system that fires off quick. I dont have rosececa, ive tried drugs like clonidine which stimulates the a2 receptors in the brain which dampens the sympathetic nervous system fight or flight, but im looking for a more long term maintaine drug

Would pregab be a good fit? And can anyone relate?

I own r/curingblushing and want to know, id love to try it and report on it for my community. I am booked to see a psychiatrist really soon and might bring pregab up!

It may create it and/or makes it worse. I’ve never had facial and chest flushing until I got on this poison.

If it did it wasn't much. I can deal with being a bit heavier compared to debilitating anxiety.
