I have to wonder about using Inderal when your symptoms include feeling "cold" ...

Beta blockers typically CAUSE cold extremities. This is a common side effect. Inderal being a non-selective type does this most. Think back to when you were not taking it, were you having this cold, ice type feelings then? Some of the studies show females react this way more than males, but that is not often mentioned in the literature. You should discuss this with your doctor. If you both decide to try without it, I suggest you taper carefully off. Sudden discontinuance of beta blockers is not recommended.
You can search the drug yourself and find more information on Google.
example:

Calcium channel blockers do help with RSD however, by improving blood flow. Some studies show when started very early in RSD cases, there may even be remission.

Clonidine BTW is not a beta blocker.
