| 3 | Stress-Induced Anxiety | Increased sweating, feelings of apathy, irritability. | I was suffering from a large deal of school related stress that was causing me to be depressed. The inderal had mixed effects; I took it as needed. In some cases, it made my day remarkably better and cured my anxiety. In others, my anxiety decreased, but I became very apathetic and irritable. | M | 18 | 3 months | 11/16/2009 | 4 | Migraine & Daily Headaches | Fatigue, dizziness when standing up, difficulty maintaining or losing weight, lack of energy. occasional memory lapses (i.e. can't find the right word, etc.) | This medicine has made an incredible difference in the overall quality of my life. It's the 5th migraine preventative I've tried, and the only one that has worked. I am down from 15-20 migraines per month to 2! I am more responsive to medication when I do get a migraine. I've been on it for about a year, at 160 mg. The first few months, I experienced fatigue and dizziness, but this passed after a few months. The biggest challenge has been in regards to weight. I've lost 60 lbs over the last few years, and have about 20 to go. The Inderal pretty much stopped my slow but steady weight loss in it's tracks. It's very difficult to lose any weight, and I've actually gained abouot 10lbs. It seems to slow down my metabolism, and make me crave carbs more than usual. I'm working around it, but it's made things tough. Still... I can't live without it, so I just accept it. | F | 33 | 1.5 years | 11/12/2009 | 5 | high blood pressure severe anxiety | insomnia extreame weight gain, light headed tiredness | I feel as if it saved my life. It stopped severe anxiety in it's tracks. I just wish I could lose weight, I cannot lose weight taking this drug... but it is a miracle drug.I am thankful for it. | F | 55 | 10 years | 11/5/2009 | 4 | Extreme migraines | As soon as I started taking it I started having TERRIBLE nightmares and started "seeing" things at night. One night I woke up and thought I saw a "figure" hanging from my ceiling fan. I also thought I felt things messing with my hair when I had just started drifting off to sleep. Very scary indeed. | My migraines were so dibilitating that I was missing work. Now I don't have any at all. But I don't know if it is worth it to be losing sleep or not. | F | 30 | 1 weeks | 11/2/2009 | 4 | severe migraines | Lightheaded and dizzy. Decreased heart rate and blood pressure to the point where I was passing out at least once a week. Weight gain and loss of interest in exercising(was extremely active) | Definetly helped with preventing migraines | F | 27 | 1 years | 10/2/2009 | 5 | Stage fright | Occasionally, a very small amount of lightheadedness. | This drug works wonders for me when I have to give a speech. I was outright phobic, but this allowed me to not only perform, but to perform better and better each time I spoke. I only take about 30 mg, and only when I have to give a speech, so I can't tell you if there might be side effects at higher/more frequent doses. | M | 45 | 15 years | 9/25/2009 | 4 | Crippling daily headaches | Nothing really, I have been having pretty vivid dreams but not necessarily nightmares, just very real and crazy dreams. Nothing else to report...I feel really good! | I suffer from daily, horrible, crippling headaches and have done since a young age. I have tried everything. Literally. From chiropractic treatment to accupuncture and everything else in between and pretty much pumped every drug into my system. I read a post on this site from a fellow sufferer so based on that I forced my doctor to put me on it (I was at the end of my tether and was willing to try anything at that point after having a headache for a solid six weeks, waking up with it first thing and going to bed with it and taking Relpax and Arcoxia daily and it not even taking the edge off - She wasn't too keen but I made her as I wanted to try anything). I've only been on it for a week-and-a-half but already I feel like a completely different person and have only had one really bad headache since taking the drug. I still have a daily ache but its nowhere near as intense as it normally is and this has definitely taken the edge off the pain. I cannot tell you how this has effected me, just not being in constant pain has really given me a new lease of life. Its obviously still early days so hopefully it can just get better from now onwards...I would recommend trying this drug and really hope it works for you as it seems to have done for me! | F | 32 | 13 days | 9/14/2009 | 4 | heart palpitations | I'm taking 10mg of Inderal twice a day for heart palpitations and the side effects that I experience are insomnia, dry eyes numbing of my arms and hands, almost like someone put rubber bands around them and very vivid dreams along with extreme tiredness | For me, the benefits of the medicine far outweigh the side effects, because when the heat palps start they're really bad | F | 44 | 2 weeks | 9/7/2009 | 5 | Migraines | Absolutely none! | I have tried nearly everything over the course of 10 years to relieve migraines from headache medicines, epidurals, daily chiropractic visits, weekly massages, diet change, acupuncture, yoga, but none of these things have helped me like the 60mg of Inderal I now take daily. Inderal has been an absolute miracle. In fact, I get tears in my eyes from the relief I now have after suffering from headaches 4-5 times a week. I do not have any side effects, in fact, I have ran 2 full marathons and several half marathons since I have been taking Inderal (2 years). I will take Inderal for the rest of my life, but it is a godsend. If you are a migraine sufferer, please try Inderal as it has dramatically changed my life for the better!!! :) | F | 31 | 2 years | 7/23/2009 | 5 | 7/15/2009 | 4 | Daily migraine | Daytime sleepiness, lucid dreams (like tripping on acid), depression, increased difficulty achieving goals during workout routine. | Have suffered from chronic migraines with aura for 16 months (possibly due to menopause). Had icepick pain in left temple and left shoulder every day. Neuro had me up to 200 mg of topamax per day, and all it did was take the edge off the pain. My docs are lucky I have a high pain threshold, otherwise I'd be hooked on Fioricet by now. Currently, I take 60mg Inderal 2X per day, and I have only needed to take an abortive med. for migraine less than a handful of times in the last month. This drug is a GODSEND, but it is not without caveats. I cry a lot more. I have to FORCE myself to exercise, when I used to love to run every day. I am having to increase my dosage levels of Prozac and Wellbutrin to compensate for the increased sadness. Hopefully Inderal will help me get through this chemical war that is being waged in my body...ready to be on the other side of it... | F | 41 | 30 days | 7/6/2009 | 5 | Migranes/ fast heart rate | None | I've been taking this drug for about 10 years. I do not notice any side effects that anyone here is talking about. I take 200 mg a day. My hair is thinning, I've put on a little weight, my cholesterol is up and my memory seems to be worse.. but all of these things can be contributed to age as I started taking this drug when I was 30 and didn't have any of these issues until just the last 2 years after a hysterectomy. I also have noticed that as long as I excersise everyday and eat well I can drop any extra weight. But there again, getting older, metabolism naturally slowing down. No vivid dreams, have never noticed a calming effect and went from a migraine everyday to one every 3 months or so. Do not like it with Topamax, that causes severe numbness in arms and legs, severe enough that it's actually painful. | F | 40 | 10 years | 6/17/2009 | 3 | Complex Migranes | Tiredness, lethargy, vivid dreams/nightmares, mental slowness, mild depression. A little weight gain, but I think that is more due to lack of energy leading to lack of exercise. | Taking Inderal LA, 60mg once a day to prevent complex migranes (migranes w/ stroke symptoms). No migranes since taking meds, but massive loss of energy and tiredness. Since the complex migranes were a one time occurance, thinking about asking my neurologist to lower the dosage. | M | 29 | 11 days | 5/21/2009 | 2 | Migranes | Exhaustion & breathing issues. EXTREME short term memory loss. Lost ability to exert myself in any way (couldn't walk a flight of stairs w/o resting). After MANY physical & imaging tests and a psychological battery, we determined it was this causing the problem. | Helped my Migraines greatly. Also helped PTSD issues and gave a general sense of calmness. It's unfortunate that it worked so well but ruined my daily life by robbing it of functional cognitive abilities and physical activity. | M | 46 | 2 years | 5/11/2009 | 4 | Essential Tremors, High BP | None really except diareah (may not be from newly restarting though) for past 2 1/2 days. Took in college when I was taking speed & drinking a lot. Stopped when quit drinking 25 yrs. ago. | Essential Tremors are a horrible progressive disease that most doctors' have no clue about. I took Inderal when ET really onset 12 yrs ago again along w/ valium. Inderal didn't seem to do anything, but the valium did stop the tremors. Worse during day when pressure was highest. Took for 5 more years ... major weight gain ... stopped. Increased meds to Topamax (excellent), Tranxene and Valium. ET's are staying constant but docs' are getting sqeeky about their licenses and cutting back on the benzos'. So, adding Inderal again and cutting back on benzos'. Scares the hell out of me. I never got hooked though since I took the bezos prn. If no big day, 1 dose, big day, full dose or more. Highly relate to ET sufferer about 4 down from me who posted in mid-March. Both of my parents' progressively became alcoholics' and died early from alcohol related disease .. at least one (probably mother) self-medicating FAMILIAL TREMORS. | M | 55 | 3 days | 4/7/2009 | 5 | essential tremor, social anxiety | Hardly any on low dose--10-20 mg a day. Some tiredness. It is a wonderful alternative to anti-depressants and/or sedatives. It allowed me to keep my job of 30 years. Doesn't seem to be a dependancy issue. | I recently read that hair loss was a side-effect. I'd noticed my hair getting thinner over the years (woman). Anyone else have this side-effect? | F | 57 | 20 years | 4/6/2009 | 2 | Migraine preventive | Extremely low pulse and low blood pressure | I felt "loopy" and lightheaded. It prevented a migraine for the 9 days I took it :-( | F | 60 | 9 days | 4/5/2009 | 4 | stage fright/public speaking | feelings of extreme tiredness. Someone told me my eyes looked watery. | this medication has worked wonders for controlling the "flight or fight" impulse associated with public speaking. i only use it when i know i am going to give a speech or presentation or when I'll need to actively participate in meetings. only downside is being tired a few hours after taken. only need 10mg or even less. but since it only treats the symptoms of anxiety, I am going to tackle getting over my actual fear/phobia. i may not always have the pill handy in unforeseen situations. | F | 33 | 4 years | 4/4/2009 | 4 | Essential Tremor | Have done well no noticeable side effects | Have taken as much as 160mgm LA twice daily to presently 80mgm daily. Would like to go off of it. Would like to see if I lost some of my weight gain over years. When not taking drug have terrible temors of hands, especially left one. | F | 65 | 20 years | 3/28/2009 | 3 | Irregular heart beats | Intermittent sharp chest pains while adjusting to the Inderal and right after going off it, trippy dreams, smaller erections and sometime painful erections. It's been two years since I took this and still have some pain "down there" if I have too much sex. I'm not sure if the inderal is to blame but it started when I was on it. Please email me if you know about this side effect and how to remedy it. | M | 39 | 2 months | 3/22/2009 | 3 | Parkinsons, Blood Pressure, Migrain | Leg weakness, High blood sugars, Weight gain, headaches | I have only been taking inderal 2 weeks in that time gained 5#, lost more strength in body, blood sudar readings doubled, eye sight fuzzy, cluster headaches worse, hard to breathe. I have to take it with lamictal due to meds 7 times a day. So don't know if it is true side effectd or pill reaction. did help with blood pressure and parkinsons | F | 58 | 2 weeks | 3/21/2009 | 5 | PVC (Ventricular Ecopics) | weight issues, slight short memory inacuracy, left chest pain (not sure drug related) | on 30mg daily (10mg before meals), i had an extremely high number of ectopics and premature beats which caused me anxiety, drug has really helped. I am more calm and collected now at work. | M | 32 | 30 days | 2/27/2009 | 5 | Stage fright/pub. speaking anxiety | Tired and irritable several hours after taking 10 mg. | Works amazingly well to eliminate the physical manifestations of anxiety. No shaking, stammering, panic. However, I don't like the side-effects, so try to only take it in really high-stress situations! I take 10 mg for big events (speeches, presentations, musical performance), 5 mg for meetings, etc. I don't mind being a little nervous, but have had one too many public speaking bombs and found myself saying "no" too much. I am very thankful that I have access to this drug - I can now say "yes" and that makes my life better. | F | 48 | 5 years | 2/10/2009 | 5 | Migraines | I'm having vivid dreams and diffuculty sleeping. No weight gain at all. | Taking 80 mg once a day and I'm absolutely ecstatic that it's greatly reduced the number and intensity of my migraines. I've had them all my life. 2 to 3 a week and now I'm down to the one hormonal headache a month! I occasionally feel a migraine coming on at other times, but it's never full blown and usually caused by a known trigger. Triptans side effects are much nastier and unsafe. I'm glad my PCP suffers migraines and is very sympathetic to the best treatment that works for me. I didn't get that from my neurologist! | F | 43 | 6 weeks | 2/4/2009 | 2 | Migraines | Distrubing Dreams, Numbness in limbs, Skin Irritation | Was perscribed this drug to help treat chronic migraines. Was awakened within the first few nights of taking this drug by weird and disturbing dreams. Noticed tingling and numbness in my fingers and toes as well. The last straw was waking up with a skin rash across my chest, shoulders and back. I know my doctor is trying to be proactive in preventing migraines before they occur, but this drug is not for me. Although sumatriptans are a reactive solution to a migraine, the inderal is just not worth the side-effects. | F | 31 | 7 days | 2/2/2009 | 3 | tremors, migraines | WEIGHT GAIN!!! TIRED. FEEL LIKE MY HEART IS RACING. VIVID DREAMS/NIGHTMARES. | It has helped my tremors somewhat, but have found that valum helps more | F | 36 | 3 months | 2/1/2009 | 5 | High blood pressure when stressed | Vivid dreams, vision changes (light sensitive) | I was a cardiac nurse and feel this is one of the most manageable beta blockers out there - been around forever. It can be easily titrated (adjusted) to your needs. My suggestion is (with the doctor's ok, of course) is to take you blood pressure frequently and adjust the dose accordingly. I have had horrible side effects with Bystolic, Altace, even Metroprolol. I take 10-20mgs in the am and 10mgs pm. If Bp low I take less. A large dose would put me completely out of commission. I have taken this drug on and off for years - just recently went back on it after all the side effects of the newer drugs. | F | 69 | 3 months | 1/23/2009 | 3 | To help with arythmia problems | Have recently deen diagnosed as diabetic and trying to lose weight on Inderal seems virtually impossible. Lethargy but so many incredible vivid dreams that sleep is always disturbed and very patchy. Stomach cramps frequently | M | 53 | 5 years | 1/15/2009 | 2 | i have heart paliptation and anxiey | it lower my blood pressure and this feeling makes me scared | i have got panic attacks and my heart races very fast so i took inderal 10 m.g and divide it into half it helps me alot but i refuse to take it every day as it lower my blood pressure and i hate to be dependent on medicines | F | 26 | 1 times | 1/13/2009 | 2 | HTN/ Migraines | SEVERE fatigue, flat affect, decreased interest in EVERYTHING weight gain,feel emotionless,always freezing, constipation | I have been taking Vasotec for my HTN for 14 months but pressure recently was becoming unstable on that alone. My PCP prescribed Inderal 60 mg because I also suffer from migraines primarily during periods that are debilitating. He told me to take it at night due to it causing fatigue however it COMPLETELY knocked me out. My family had a very difficult time waking me and I basically become a zombie after taking it. I am freezing cold wherever I go. I feel like a shell of the person I used to be. I don't feel much ambition for work or my life in general. I have 2 young sons that I need to be available to and I just don't like who I am on this medicine. I am also in a relationship and I don't have any interest in sex or showing emotion.If anyone has suggestions for me I would GREATLY appreciate it. | F | 38 | 7 weeks | 1/10/2009 | 3 | Daily Migraines | Extreme Fatigue, Fuzzy headed when awake | It has helped my headaces alot. I used to get them 5-6 times a week and I haven't had a headache in weeks. For that I love it. I can't get enough sleep though. I'm in a constant dream. Do you get used to it? I am taking 120 mg a day | F | 26 | 2 months | 1/4/2009 | 4 | extreme headaches | easily get fast heartbeat wheezing get up in the night heartburn vivid dreams can't exercise for a long time | my headaches got a lot better in that department but still side affects.(40 grams 1 each night) | F | 10 | 3 months | 1/2/2009 | 4 | Basilar Migraine | Tireness, fatigue, weight gain!! Some depression, but it may stem from the fatigue and weight gain, I have gained at least 25 pounds since starting this drug. | This drug has helped my migraines, although the side effects have been many, most of have dissapated over time except the fatigue. I have titrated up to 80 mgs since I started taking it due to migraines increasing and hope that I will not have to go any further up the chain, I am considering not taking it anymore just to see if my metabolism gets jump started, I often feel like a prisoner in my own body. | F | 47 | 2 years | 12/22/2008 | 2 | for migraines | Extreme nausea and fatigue with periods of dizziness. | I was started on 20 mg twice a day, but ended up titrating the dosage down to 10 mg once daily due to extreme nausea and weight loss. I am now off and researching other Beta Blockers. Inderol was not for me. | F | 14 | 2 weeks | 12/14/2008 | 4 | Essential tremors/Migraines | None when taking 60-80 mg once per day along w/other meds to prevent migraines. Have taken for about 2 years. Recently diagnosed with essential tremors and Neurologist doubled dose to 80mg twice a day about 2 weeks ago. Extremely tired. | Tremors greatly reduced. Before was having trouble writing and using mouse for computer. Now much easier, but hope exhaustion goes away as body adjusts to higher dose. I had taken topomax initially to prevent migraines-- hated it-- made me STUPID!!!! It's also used for tremors and I'll avoid it at all costs. Some concern about keeping essential tremors in check-- read that they normally increase with age. Have them in hands/lower arms as well as legs. Anyone else have this type of tremor???? | M | 50 | 2 years | 11/10/2008 | 1 | high blood pressure | HORRIBLE DEBILITATING TIREDNESS. After a yr of taking 10mg/2x per day, HBP was rising, so MD increased dosage to 60 mg timed-release/once per day. Most horrific drug experience of my life. Became a zombie, demonic nightmares most nites for first time in life; all drives, inc sexual, disappeared. Couldn't work, think, be sexual, plan anything, lost interest in everything. 8 hrs sleep no longer enough. After 60 days not being able to get out of bed most days, went back to 10 mg/2 x per day. Immediate relief, but mind still fogs out. Creativity still diminished; feet/hands still go numb, dizziness, constipation, graphic nightmares still a problem. Is this the only med's the prof's can come up with for HBP?? What a joke. | For the 60 days on increased dosage, I suffered DEBILITATING HORRIFIC symptoms with no warning from MD. I'm shocked to read ALL my NEW symptoms listed in many other postings by people who aren't necessarily attributing their symptoms to this medicine. I'm shocked to read just how many people are being putting through this hell too for a solution for migraines, not HBP!! Why is the medical community putting us through this? After reading what I have, I'm going back to my MD and making him answer a lot of questions, first off, why did he tell me he hadn't heard of my symptoms until now considering they seem pretty commonplace on these message boards! I want to emphasize that until I was put on this medicine, I had NEVER suffered from any of the (new) side effects at any other time in my life! | F | 49 | 60 days | 11/4/2008 | 5 | Migraine | fatigue, shortness of breath, some insomnia -- side effects went away. I take 40 mg twice a day. | When I first started taking it I started by breaking it half. I thought that the 40 was too strong.. I would feel sort of some strange sensation in my chest. If I walked much at all-- even from the parking lot into the car-- I would feel really tired. I was so hesitant to keep taking it and the migraines were still happening.. then after about 2 weeks I decided just to try it full on, I decided I would take the full dose until my follow up appointment. The side effects went away in time. It really took about 4 more weeks before I realized it was helping my migraines and also my daily headaches. I now don't notice any side effects, my body must have adjusted. I recommend it, but give it a long time to start working! | F | 35 | 3 months | 10/30/2008 | 1 | mitral valve prolaps, palpitations | I have taken Inderal two different times for the same reason.The first time I did not have any problems and only took it for a short time. The scond time I took it I had terrible side affects that my Dr. and pharmasist said were unlike the effects of this dru. Basically I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I has hot and cold flashes, epetitive thoughts similar to OCD that persisted for years after stopping INDERAL. I also had severes panic attacks. I had to go off after a couple of weeks. No one could explain the strange reaction and even told me I was exagerating which was very frustrating. | Will never take this again, or anything in this class of drugs, even though I need the benefits it may be able to produce. So scarey that it triggered years of fears regarding taking any medication again. | F | 44 | 2 weeks | 10/8/2008 | 5 | migraine | Lethargy, weight gain, high cholesterol and triglycerides, vivid dreams | I've taken Inderal for 15 years to prevent daily classic migraines with visual aura. I could not function without this med but have had to increase dosage over the years from 60mg LA QD to about 100mg LA QD at present (I remove graines from capsules to reduce dosage). Now my cholesterol and TGs are very high and I suspect beta-blocker because my diet is healthy - low fat and low carb. I recently added 300mg CQ-10 QD and it helps greatly with the brain fog and lethargy and prevented the necessity to increase dosage of inderal again. Anyone changed from long-term inderal to topamax?? | F | 62 | 15 years | 10/6/2008 | 5 | generalized anxiety disorder | Euphoria (believe it or not!) Maybe if you have a constant prevailing sense of impending doom from anxiety, it's nice not to have it anymore... | I am an MD and I am seeing a psychiatrist who believes in "better living through chemistry". Tell me about Polly Pharmacy, doctor, is she pretty? Of all the drugs I have taken (and I've been on prozac since 1993) to control my depression and horrible pervasive anxiety, besides the prozac, Inderal has been a wonder drug. I know I'm off the bell curve here, but of trileptal, ativan, xanax, clonipine, cymbalta and, god help us, modafanil at $10 a pill, this cheap ancient drug has helped me more than anything. I take it PRN, 10-20 mg one to three times a day, and I feel calm and rational. I think it is best for people who have very high resting sympathetic tone (those of us who sweat, yell, and think that 5 days is way too long to wait for a gun permit). Also, as a benfit, my blood pressure, which tends to run high, is much better (I went to a blood drive yesterday and I was down to 125/65) | M | 49 | 5 weeks | 10/5/2008 | 3 | ANXIETY/PANIC/HIGH BP/ARRYTHMIA | NO REAL NEGATIVE SIDES YET. SLIGHT DROWSINESS. MAYBE SLIGHT LOSS OF MEMORY, OR MORE LIKE, LESS OBSESSING ABOUT PAST THOUGHTS. TOTALLLY HELPS CONCENTRATION AND PHYSICAL EASE. | I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM GAD AND PD SINCE I WAS 18. ITS HEREDITARY. I HAVE MANAGED TO 'GET BY' UNTIL RECENTLY WITHOUT MEDICATION. I HAVE BEEN GETTING TERRIBLE BOUTS OF ARRYTHMIA WHICH LAST 5-10 SECONDS, ALONG WITH THE USUALLY PVC'S. MOST LIKELY FROM THE ADRENALINE THAT MY BODY RELEASES ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVE ALSO ALWAYS BEEN TOLD I HAVE MILD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,(125-130/85-90) BUT I ATTRIBUTE THAT TO ANXIETY MORE THAN CARDIAC OR CIRCULATORY ISSUES. I EXERCISE 4-5 TIMES A WEEK, HAVE 9 PERCENT BODY FAT AND AM AN ATHLETE. MY DOC PRESCRIBED ME .05MG XANAX AND 10MG INDERAL, PRN (AS NEEDED). IN COMBINATION, THEY WORK GREAT! I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND I TAKE THEM BEFORE TESTIFYING AT TRIALS, MEETINGS, AND OTHER INTENSE EVENTS. I ALSO TAKE IT BEFORE FLYING, WHICH I AM TERRIFIED OF, AND IT HELPS, BUT I DONT THINK I TOOK ENOGUH INDERAL BECAUSE MY NOR-EPENEPHRINE STILL KICKED IN AND I ALMOST HAD AN ATTACK. I USUALLY ONLY TAKE 10-20 MG'S AS NEEDED, BUT I STARTED TO TAKE 20-30 MG'S EVERY DAY WIT | M | 33 | 6 months | 10/4/2008 | 5 | migraine | marked physical tiredness, short term memory reduction. | It works very well having reduced my 3 migraines per week to about one per month. I am a medical dr. myself. | M | 41 | 8 months | 9/17/2008 | 3 | migraine/pre-hypertension | Extreme nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, sleepiness | While it has lowered my BP to acceptable levels, I still get migraines. I sleep fitfully for up to 12-13 hours and have a hard time staying awake during the day in addition to side effects I have already mentioned. Dosage 80mg extended release once daily. Side effects outweigh usefullness of drug for me. | F | 30 | 5 days | 9/1/2008 | 5 | anxiety | none | has been working at 20mg, no side effects so far. | M | 40 | 1 months | 8/13/2008 | 5 | migraine | Tiredness the first week only. Feet tend to go to sleep if I sit on them. | Ive had migraines for 37 years. Taking too many Triptans...Migraines starting 3/4 times a week. Though I dont like taking this drug, I am extreemly relieved that I now am migraine free for the first time in my life. I have my life back and can feel like a real person. | F | 56 | 14 days | 8/4/2008 | 1 | Migraine Prevention | I can't concentrate or think clearly. I can't remember anything, I am so exhausted I sleep 14 hours a day and still take a nap. I can't do my job because I can't think clearly or remember what I was doing. Migraines haven't stopped. | I took this drug from 6/25 - 7/21. It is now 8/1 and I am still experiencing the side effects. Will it ever go away?? | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 8/1/2008 | 5 | anxiety stage fright | slow heart beat | only 10 mg a day | M | 61 | 20 years | 7/30/2008 | 5 | Slight Tremor | Decreased heart rate, lowering of blood pressure, calmness | Inderal is wonderful! It truly works for those of us who have stage fright and tremors...I take 20mg of it up to three times a day for shakiness. I also take .5mg Klonopin twice a day, 20mg of Geodon twice a day, and 36mg of Concerta in the morning. | F | 17 | 6 months | 7/28/2008 | 5 | arrythmias and taccachardia | Normal heart rate and rhythm (from 120-200 beats/minute to 69 beats/minute) but weight gain and exhaustion. I was always so very under weight I tried every method to gain without success. I began taking Inderal (120 mg LA) due to heart arrhythmias and rapidly gained 35 pounds (that was more than 20 years ago). Once I gained the weight, I remained stable (weight-wise), but now, I would love to lose 15 pounds and can't. I eat much less than I did when I was trying to gain (I now consume about 1800 calories/day as opposed to 3500 prior to inderal) and stay at a consistent 160 lbs (I am a woman 5 feet 8 inches). I would love to lose even 10 pounds, and can not. I do have VIVID dreams....sometimes nightmare-like, but I rather enjoy this aspect of the drug. Perhaps Steven King could write an even more graphic and horrific novel if he stayed on a consistent regime of Inderal....who knows......maybe that's his secret!!!!!!! | F | 55 | 25 years | 7/24/2008 | 1 | borderline high BP/ migraines | THIS IS SUCH AN AWFUL DRUG. I THOUGHT I WAS PREGO AGAIN. I AM MISERABLY TIRED. AM DRINKING A POT OF COFFEE TO NO AVAIL. I CANNOT get out of bed to care for my 3 and 4 year old boys. This is awful. HORRIBLE and violent dreams. I have NEVER remembered my dreams. Now, last night I saw the devil in silk, red boxers who wanted to turn me to the dark side. My husband say I was screaming I LOVE GOD. Have only been taking this for a few weeks. I AM STOPPING THIS. It is like taking acid (although I never have). I am tired all day long. My kids are just looking at me like what is wrong with you mom? This is it. DRUGS ARE NOT THE ANSWER FOR ME. | 2 weeks | 7/24/2008 | 5 | Migraine | Wake up during the night totally disorientated - where I am even what is around me, goes away after few seconds. Intense dreams that wake me up. Slight decrease in libido. | I take Inderal 40mg twice a day and this controls the frequent severe migraines I used to experience. This drug works for me and I can live with the side effects I experience. | M | 30 | 2 years | 7/22/2008 | 4 | constant headaches | bloated, lathargic, difficulty sleeping (not sure if its from this medication or not tho) | havn't been on it for very long, am on 40mg 3 times a day, missed one at lunch yesterday and by that night i had a headache. not sure if thats good. also feeling very bloated and lathargic. am an apprentice hairdresser so my job requires me to be on my feet and by the end of the day i am so tired but i stil cant sleep properly at night. see how i go.. | F | 19 | 5 days | 6/13/2008 | 2 | migraine | 15 pound weight gain in 3 months; tired all the time; constipation; thinning of hair (more in shower); runny sniffly nose (with out having a cold). | My neuro started me at 20mg 2 times a day and gradually went up to 60mg twice a day. Did not help my migraines at all. I get them every 4-9 days. | F | 31 | 6 months | 5/23/2008 | 4 | Anxiety/Panic Attacks | Constipation, Weight Gain, Some confusion | I started taking 10mg a day due to Anxiety & Panic At. which had a massive impact on my life to the point where i couldn't work, it's definately helped reduce the unpleasant physical symptoms of anxiety & got me back on my feet, so much so that i started a new job 3weeks ago! However my weight has crept up since starting, i've gone from a (UK)12 now a 14 and even those clothes are starting to feel tight now! Also suffer constipation. I came off it for 4 days and was really emotional and felt a bit anxious again but hoping try going without it again and shed some pounds!! :D *wish me luck* :D | F | 19 | 5 months | 5/11/2008 | 4 | Migraines | Very very vivid dreams every night. Slight constipation. Slowness (i.e. lack of energy). | Haven't had a migraine in 4 months - hallelujah! I take 180mg a day along with serotonin (10mg). very happy not having migraines any more, just worried about having to be on something that effects my heart for the rest of my life! | F | 25 | 4 months | 4/15/2008 | 3 | PVC's, Migraines, Anxiety | Tiredness at first, went away quickly. Taking 20 mg's twice daily. | Works really well to quell the pvcs and helps somewhat with anxiety, although if the anxiety is bad I need Xanax as well. For the migraines it has done nothing, but to be fair I am probably not taking a high enough dose. Don't think I could handle more due to low blood pressure. | F | 3 months | 4/9/2008 | 3 | Migraine | Extreme weight gain :( Went from 118 lbs to 140 in 7 weeks. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT ON THIS DRUG PLEASE EMAIL ME @ THETAOISINU@HOTMAIL.COM!!!!! I think it slows your metabolism. Also I get winded easily, so it's hard to exercise. | At first it did help with the severity of my migraines. It took them down to migraines almost every day (I had to get FMLA from work) to a moderate headache with migraine maybe once a week. I am on 80 mg twice a day. Now the migraines are coming back. I'm not sure if I can go up higher due to the weight gain. | F | 28 | 7 weeks | 4/2/2008 | 3 | headache prevention | none | i was on propranolol at 60mg, twice a day, for about a month. it worked for a little while, then just stopped working. it's a good drug though because there's the smallest chance of side effects. | F | 19 | 1 months | 3/25/2008 | 3 | for tremors and anxiety | Felt quite tired and had a sort of sureal feeling. Concentration was poor and did not sleep well | I did what it was supposed to do in my case,eased the anxiety and took away the tremors but I think the strength was too high 40mg. Will go back to doctor and ask to try 10mg. | F | 534 | 4 days | 3/12/2008 | 4 | MVP | memory loss,fatigueness,inc. weight,low dissison power,long thoughting, | but it is my life,i can't live without ineral+ecosprin | M | 28 | 10 years | 3/6/2008 | 3 | sinus tachycardia | It makes me soooooo tired! I have constipation also, possibly related to inderal, but not sure yet. | I am taking 10 mg 2x a day, and it just makes me so tired, I can barely do my normal routine, and normally I am always, always on the go. It does help with keeping my heart rate at 100 or below. I also have anxiety and stress which my dr. thinks brought on the sinus tachycardia. Though it helps to relax me somewhat, it does not rid me of my anxiety. So even though I am so very tired, I am still jittery and nervous at the same time. It's weird. I have only been taking this for three days, so I will post again when I have been taking it longer if there are any other adverse effects. I am also taking xanax as needed, and the combination of the two seems to be helping me. I only wish I wasn't so darn tired from the inderal! I do take the inderal on it's own in the am, and do not take the xanax as frequently, so I know for sure it's that making me so tired. I do hope it subsides. | F | 31 | 3 days | 1/26/2008 | 5 | Migraine/Tension Headache | Slight Weight gain, reduced erectile status. Reduced ability to undertake extended strenuous exercise as my heart rate refuses to climb to meet the blood demand. | But then again I was oversexed, over-aggressive, too skinny and getting headaches every few days so all of the above side-effects are perfectly acceptable. Tried weaning myself off it a couple of times and became wired/shaky/pounding heart/nervous so I guess it will be with me for life. | M | 44 | 14 years | 1/19/2008 | 3 | SVT (super ventricular tachycardia) | Fatgue,short term memory loss,extreme weight gain, mental depression, angina pains,tingling in hands and feet,vivid dreams | F | 39 | 7 years | 1/9/2008 | 4 | Migraines | Rapid weight gain (40 lbs 6 months)with lack of energy to exercise, heart palpitations, extreme fatigue | I have had migraines since I was 18 yrs old. Sometimes migraines would last 2-3 days without relief in sight. No medications that I was prescribed made as much of a difference as Inderal. Migraines are rare now and I only take 60mg daily. I only wish that the weight gain was not a side effect. | F | 43 | 3 years | 1/5/2008 | 3 | Migraine | Weight Gain, low pulse rate, cold hands / feet, dizzy sick feeling if miss dose, short term memory issues | use to get severe migraine, needing treatment at emergency dept, about twice a month. No migraines since taking, but weight gain real issue, have gained 25 kilos (55 pound) since starting medication even though on calorie controlled diet with cardio and weight training 6 out of 7 days, so will be looking for alternative treatment. | F | 36 | 7 years | 12/10/2007 | 4 | Bi-Polar/ Tremors | Reduction of fine tremors in hands and tightness in chest. | M | 54 | 2 months | 11/26/2007 | 4 | migraines | weight gain, sexual dysfunction | Taking 160mg LA. Reduced migraines from 3 a week to less than 2 a month, which I successfully treat with Maxalt when I feel them coming on. To be fair, if I led a less stressful life, I would have fewer still. I gained about 20 lbs since taking inderal that I haven't been able to shed & keep off. Over the past year, I've noticed decreasing sexual desire, and most recently, bouts of impotence. I can't say for certain whether it's the inderal causing the sexual dysfunction or whether it's just because I'm getting older. I'm very grateful to be without the migraines, but I'd like to have my sex life back. | M | 41 | 3 years | 10/19/2007 | 4 | taken PRN for panic attacks | slight loss of mental acuity, loss of focus, fatigue, possible short-term memory loss | While it might not help the mental sensations associated with panic attacks, it works wonders on the physical symptoms: no sweaty palms, no racing heart, no hyperventilation, etc... However, I find that it dulls my mind a bit. I have slower recall and reaction time, and I find myself "spacing out" a bit for about an hour after I take it. I only use this drug PRN ("as needed") before taking exams or when I have to give public speeches, so these side effects might only be incidental. | F | 29 | 18 months | 10/10/2007 | 1 | hyprtension | Insomnia,exhaustion, weakness | My blood pressure was lowered, but it didn't matter,as I was too tired to care. I changed to Avapro and have had no further problems. | F | 65 | 6 months | 9/22/2007 | 4 | migraines | slight fatigue | Propranolol has been amazing! I have had absolutely zero migraines for two weeks. Normally, I would have had 6-7 during this time. I feel clear headed for the first time in years. It gave me my life back. | F | 28 | 2 weeks | 8/24/2007 | 5 | Arrhythmia-PVC's;Mitral Valve Prola | None now. | I ended up in the ER 32 years ago with an arrhythmia (Premature Ventricular Contractions) and Mitral Valve Prolapse. It was was so bad that I would faint when I raised my hands above my head (washing my hair, getting something down from a high shelf, adjusting an IV flow rate). This was not acceptable as I am an RN. I have been on Inderal since nursing school days which is 32 years ago. Inderal gave me my life to live with no side effects. I am on 40 mg three times a day. I once was on it four times a day but I gradually reduced the one time because I don't like to take anything more than I need. I beleive in very gradually decreasing a medication. I substituted one dose a week with 30 mg and then if successful I raised it to twice a week, and then three times a week etc. After I was on 30 mg for the one dosage I then repeated the process going down to 20 mg then 10 mg and then none. It takes awhile to get off of something but I have found the success rate to be very good. | F | 51 | 32 years | 7/10/2007 | 4 | Severe Migraine | Slow, pounding heart. Breathlessness. Tiredness and fatigue. Dry eyes. Embarrassing short term memory loss - sometimes I forget the names of everyday items. Very upsetting weight gain - over 14 lbs in 5 months and as I still don't feel up to exercising, I can't lose it. A general feeling of not feeling "quite right". | Although I am definitely suffering some unpleasant side effects this drug has been wonderful in that I now at least have some quality of life. The tiredness is a problem as I work and have 3 children. Before this drug my life was hardly worth living with migraines so severe I had to have emergency medical treatment on several occasions. I am at least mostly pain free now and haven't had a full-blown migraine attack since starting the drug. I'm on an 80mg slow release once a day tablet - which I have found better than remembering to take smaller doses throughout the day. I would recommend anyone try it for severe migraine - but ONLY agree to it if it is a last resort and you have tried other things first. | F | 45 | 6 months | 6/16/2007 | 5 | Migraine | Weight gain - approx 35lb. Very vivid dreams. Some insomnia. Tiredness in afternoons. Cold feet and hands. Breathlessness when walking up hills (this might be due to the weight gain though). | Taking Inderal LA 80. I find that this drug works very well in controlling my headaches. It also has the side effect of making me very calm - people remark that I always seem to be bomb-proof, never panicking, even when the going gets tough! The weight gain has been a problem. I have a very healthy diet, but continue to gain weight. In all, I would say that the benefits outweigh the problems. I've just been taken off this drug and started taking Ramipril today. I'm hoping that this will also help me to lose some of the weight I gained while on Inderal. If I don't feel that Ramipril are an improvement, I may go back onto Inderal. | F | 50 | 10 years | 6/4/2007 | 5 | anxiety & migraines | Perhaps a little insomnia and fatigue at first. Nothing now. | Have been taking Inderal for about 5 days now, 40mg 2xper day. It has done wonders for my anxiety. I was suffering extreme panic/anxiety attacks which kept me at home unable to go anywhere or do anything. I also suffer horrible migraines too so after trying many SSRI's (which didnt suit me at all) the doc decided to try Inderal to combat both the anxiety and migraines. I'm like a new person - going out, socialising again and the horrible physical symptoms of anxiety have almost gone. No more delibating migraines either. Now I can concentrate on looking after myself, exercising again and enjoying myself once again. | F | 33 | 5 days | 6/2/2007 | 5 | Public Speaking | None as yet. I only take it as & when needed. | I have had some very embarassing situations when giving presentations. Like I could not complete it and just stop and freeze on stage.. I once had to just hang up in middle of a phone conference during my talk.. Taking inderal 1.5 hours before I give a talk has worked like magic for me. The relief that I have now found a solution to my phobia is the best part! | M | 34 | 3 months | 5/27/2007 | 5 | Migraines | A bit tired but cannot sleep at night, erectile dysfunction. | I have been dealing with migraines since I was about 6 or 8 years old not properly diagnosed until I was in 6th grade. I have tried many drugs and they usually work when I just get the migraine, but recently I was waking up with them so the drugs were not helping. For the past two months I have not had any. Life with the migraines was so disrupted I think I am willing to deal with the side effects. | M | 40 | 2 months | 5/20/2007 | 5 | Migraines | For the first month or so I had a lot of problems sleeping...I was waking up exactly 5 hours after taking the Inderal. The doctor switched me from taking the pills 12 hours apart to 6-7 hours apart (9 am and 3 pm). I started sleeping better and now have no sleeping problems (none after 5 weeks or so). At first I also was having some vivid dreams...went away. | My Migraines are GONE. I haven't had a migraine in 9 weeks (been on Inderal 10)!!! I haven't gone more than 7-10 DAYS without a migraine since I was 14 years old. This is amazing. I'm really glad I stuck it out for the first month because I really thought I was going to have to stop taking Inderal due to the side effects. Now the side effects are gone and I don't have to worry every day about when the next migraine will hit. When you've lived your whole teen & adult life never knowing if you'll have a migraine the next day the FREEDOM is amazing. | F | 32 | 10 weeks | 5/11/2007 | 3 | migraines, tension headaches | weight gain 15lbs in 3 months, lack of energy | I've was taking 60mg originally, but just got up to 120mg. My migraines are thought to be hormonal so it's not much help for those but in the last few weeks I have noticed a change in the frequency of my headaches. I was getting about 4 a week and I've only had about 1 a week for the last 3 weeks. I think the higher dose is working for me. | F | 24 | 4 months | 5/10/2007 | 5 | Severe migraines | Drowsiness, severe dizziness if I get up too quickly after taking it (I have low blood pressure), bloating, some loss of creativity, more memory loss than usual, strange scalding/burning sensation in my mouth and down my throat (not sure it's this drug) | I've been suffering from near constant migraines for years and this has taken a lot of the severity away, making it so I can function better. I take 60 mg at night, which makes the drowsiness/dizziness easier to handle, and had been losing weight at an alarming rate before taking it (although that's started again). I've also noticed that a lot of the tremours in my legs from a separate back injury subsided, which was a pleasant surprise. As far as vivid dreams go, I've always been blessed with them so that hasn't changed. I do find myself waking often some nights with one obsessive thought running through my head over and over. It's usually something I have absolutely no interest in, which is really irritating. | F | 42 | 3 months | 5/9/2007 | 2 | anxiety | shortness of breath tightness around chest asthmatic breathing | the side effects were scarey and i have stopped taking it | M | 47 | 3 days | 5/9/2007 | 5 | high blood pressure, migraines | Did not want to take this because of the side effects I read about it on ask a patient but my doctor insisted, I also take cymbalta and wellbutrin, really surprised me, I am doing fine. Blood pressure is down to normal, before on average it would be 160/110, started out 80 mg a day of Inderal, now down to 20 mg a day. So no side effects. Doctor had to add cymbalta because of my major depression and I feel sooo much better. So far have lost 11 pounds which is a good thing. | F | 55 | 4 months | 5/7/2007 | 5 | daily migrains/tension headaches | heartburn | I was told that it could take up to 4 wks to see results. I always wake up with a headache and the morning after taking this for the first time, I woke up headache free-seriously. I feel so much better. I've been put on 4 other meds before this and this works wonders. I feel so great thanks to this med. | F | 25 | 3 days | 4/27/2007 | 5 | migraine | Constipation seems to be my main issue. Not sure if it effects weight gain, but I started a weight loss (good diet) program the same week I started taking the meds, and I have managed to lose 10 lbs in 2 months regardless. I do need a lot of sleep, but not too tired to exercise 4x per week for 30 minutes. I also dream a lot but no bad nightmare. | I have not had a migraine in 2 months, when I was sure to get at least 1-2 per week before. I also had hypertension, and it has taken that under control too. | F | 49 | 60 days | 4/10/2007 | 5 | performance anxiety | none | Have only taken this twice to give presentations. It definitely kept the pounding heart, blushing, and stage-fright brain freeze at bay. You don't feel at all drugged, you just feel like a normal person instead of a palpitating wreck. I have a lot of job interviews and other anxiety causing events approaching, so my doc gave me this just to get over that hump. Just started taking Buspar for social anxiety, so hopefully once that kicks in fully, I won't need the Inderal(I know it has more potential for side effects-like hair loss). But for now, the Inderal provides some much needed calm | F | 33 | 2 days | 4/9/2007 | 3 | migraines | weight gain, 10lbs in 6 weeks while trying to lose weight and doing 4 hours of hard exercise a week. | F | 29 | 6 weeks | 3/26/2007 | 5 | Essential (Familial) Tremors | Extreme nausea after the first dose. Never again after that. | My tremors had been tolerable for many years, then at age 36 they increased in my hands and head.I couldn't sign a check or hold a fork anymore.The Inderal slowed the tremors until they're only noticeable if I'm late for a pill or had too much caffeine. Inderal has given me the ability to lead a quality life.I take one 80mg. tablet three times per day.Bonus--No more migrains or racing heart beats! | F | 55 | 19 years | 3/16/2007 | 5 | Migraines | When taking the Inderal LA 120mg once per day I had some really bad realistic nightmares, the worst I have ever expirenced. Short term memory loss. Always tired never feel like I have a lot of energy. | It has really helped me with the migraines I use to wake up with them almost everyday and now I get one about twice a month and they are not as severe. I have forgotten a dosage and I end up paying big time it seems like the full blown migraine comes back when you miss a dosage. | M | 28 | 1.5 years | 2/20/2007 | 5 | l'm taking this drug for headaches | well l haven't had any side effects. | l think this drug is great l was afraid at first but now l don't think l every want to come off of it. | F | 41 | 14 days | 2/16/2007 | 3 | Headaches | Very tired, especially by mid afternoon. Very tired eyes. Definately fast weight gain, which I cannot afford, may be enough to make me go off. Some stomach upset, but had a problem before too so can't be sure it's inderal | Headaches are definately less frequent and less severe, haven't lost a day to a headache since I'm taking it-taking 60 mg twice a day, ,maybe I can cut down | F | 52 | 2 months | 2/4/2007 | 4 | Blood Pressure/migraines | Weight gain, dizziness, loss of thought at times. Was wondering if anyone out there has had problems with hands and legs swelling. | Blood pressure and migraines are doing wonderful....it is the side effects that have me concerned now. | F | 42 | 9 months | 1/23/2007 | 5 | Daily Migraines | Tired | This medication has been wonderful! I have been experiencing migraines for years and for the past year have had chronic daily migraines. The quality of my life was not good. If was affecting my family and work life. Now after taking Inderal, 10mg twice daily, for 3 weeks I feel like I'm getting my life back! I would recommend this medication to anyone who suffers from migraines. I was also experiencing heart pounding at bedtime but the Inderal has helped with that too. The only drawback for me is that it does make me tired. I would much rather be tired than sick in bed with a migraine though. | F | 39 | 3 weeks | 1/10/2007 | 2 | Panic attacks/anxiety | RAPID, EXTREME WEIGHT GAIN (30 pounds in 3 months!), moderate-severe swelling of legs and ankles, constant exhaustion. | I was having panic attacks, so doc put me on what I call propranolol. The panic attacks went away, but after a few months, I started feeling like crap. Extreme tiredness, easy fatigue. Then came the weight gain. 30 POUNDS IN 3 MONTHS!!! After dozens of doctors telling me to lose weight (btw, I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain, so w/o pain management, I CAN'T EXERCISE!) I decided to ween myself off of propanolol (REALLY not reccomended, my father has extensive experience with it. Seriously, don't do it unless you know what you're doing). I've been off it for a month, I've lost 10 pounds, the swelling's gone down, and I have energy. I get a little dizzy every now and then, but I feel great. *I don't reccomend this drug unless you REALLY need it* | 3 years | 11/23/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Extra emotional the first week to 10 days. Not normal for me so attributed to the drug. Sense of calming and minor sleepiness but that also went away after the first week or so. | Helped my migraines immensely. I was having 4-5 headaches a week for 6 months prior to taking Inderal. They stopped almost immediately after I started taking the drug. 80mg twice a day. I have been on it for a month and only had 3 headaches, which were far less severe than the ones I had prior to taking the medicine. | F | 35 | 30 days | 11/14/2006 | 5 | pvc's, tachycardia | Extreme fatigue yet not able to sleep, memory loss, weight gain of 20 pounds in 3 months, horrific nightmares every night....horrific I say... | Inderal has been extremely effective in controlling my heart rate and the pvcs until ablation. Could have written several horror film screenplays from the nightmares I've had though.... I gained a LOT of weight but really needed to as I was 20 pounds underweight. Thank you Wyeth!! | F | 33 | 3 months | 9/29/2006 | 5 | Tremors/Anxiety | Some mild chest discomfort | I've had "the shakes" all my life but when it started affecting my new career (Paramedic), my doctor suggested this at 10mg. The shakes are gone, I focus better and am much more in control. This stuff really works!! | M | 44 | 3 months | 9/26/2006 | 5 | migraines | 120 mg LA. once a day If taken in late afternoon or later I have very vivid dreams that are quite hallucinagenic. It gives me a calming effect which can never hurt. I do have some short term memory loss. | This has been a God send for my migraines. I was having them daily and now only rarely have one which is no where near as severe as they use to be. I would recommend at least trying it if you've gotten little relief from migraines. | F | 54 | 15 years | 9/10/2006 | 5 | Migraines and hypertension | Disorientation and dizziness when taking120mg/day. Possible weight gain. Difficulty losing weight. I cry easily. Some vivid dreams or violent nightmares with dosage of more than 80 mg/day. | Now that I take only 40 to 60mg/day the only side effects are some short term memory loss (It takes me about 15 to 30 seconds longer to recall people's names, for example. I still cry easily (though this could be hormonal) and I find it difficult to lose weight (I gained 16 lbs since I started taking it, but that was 23 years ago, so it could be due to age). My blood pressure is normal with it, without it, it goes to 180/120 also, I used to suffer from horrible migraines almost on a daily basis, now I get a small migraine before or during my period only. For me the medicine was a godsend. I had been suffering with migraines for at least 10 years and had been placed on codeine and other ineffective medications. Through daily 3-mile walks I was able to reduce my dosage from 120mg/day to 60mg/day. | F | 53 | 23 years | 8/15/2006 | 5 | paroxymal atrial tachycardia | none. i take 5mg of it once a day. i also take it along with lanoxin .125 one whole pill and a half of one once a day. | i just found out that wyeth ayerst is no longer making the 10mg tablet of inderal in the brand name any longer but are still making the other strengths. so now i will have to take it generically which im not happy about. it wasnt the price i was worried about it was the peace of mind and the security of the brand name. | F | 26 years | 6/29/2006 | 5 | migraines | none | This drug is absolutely a godsend for me - it's very successful at preventing migraines and I haven't had any side effects even at 80 mg three times a day. | F | 22 | 1 years | 6/24/2006 | 4 | migraines, high blood pressure | wild dreams if I don't take with food or milk. | I had been having 2-3 severe migraines a week. The frequency and intensity immediately started decreasing, and now I haven't had even a minor one for two weeks. Very pleased with the results. I had been taking Relpax for the migraines but would run out of medication before insurance would allow me to refill the prescription, and it was very costly. | M | 44 | 5 weeks | 5/16/2006 |
