| 3 | CHEST PAIN | CAN YOU TAKE INDERAL WITH INSULIN? i HAVE READ THE THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO DRUGS CAN KILL YOU. | M | 78 | 6 months | 1/23/2002 | 5 | anxiety | Slight depressed mood if I take it regularly. | This drug helps me so much with the physical symptoms of anxiety. It seems to stop my anxiety from spiralling out of control. I only take it when I know I'm going to be in a situation which will cause higher levels of anxiety than what I usually feel. (I have general anxiety too.) I can now do things I never thought I would be able to do as long as I remember to take my little pink pill about an hour before. Exams have become annoying and inconvenient insted of terrifying, I can talk in front of groups of people too, still don't enjoy it, but I can do it and remain intellegent and calm. | F | 41 | 4 years | 5/20/2003 | 3 | pvc's | slow heart rate, even after discontinuing use for 2 days | very effective for me in controlling pvc's. | M | 35 | 5 days | 1/11/2004 | 3 | Restless Leg Syndrom | Often get dizzy as hell when I stand up after sitting for more than 10 minutes. The kind of dizzy that makes you need to lean on something, quickly. Fortunately, it only happens once or twice a day. | If helped a little the first month. My episodes went from about every 40 seconds when I was resting to maybe a few dozen times a night. Then Doc added Clonazepam and a little later Mirapex. My symptoms are way down, but still not completely controlled. | M | 42 | 2 months | 5/13/2004 | 5 | performance anxiety (stage fright) | slight mood changes when taken several days in a row | I am a professional musician (French horn) in a symphony orchestra and used to suffer from pounding heart, shortness of breath, dry mouth, and shaking when playing exposed solo passages. For years I was told that beta blockers turn you into a zombie with no creativity or artistry. I have found it to be a godsend - my mind remains totally clear and focused, and instead of having a negative effect on my creativity, I now find I can communicate musically much better without all the shaking. I only take 10mg a few times a month when the need arises, so the chances of side effects are practically nil. Highly recommended. | F | 34 | 2 years | 9/29/2004 | 4 | pvc's | decreased heart rate | works for me for irregular heartbeat | M | 36 | 1 years | 10/11/2004 | 5 | Essential Tremors | Only side affects so far are short term memory loss. If I miss a day or two, I get dizzy. | F | 49 | 8 years | 10/25/2004 | 3 | High blood pressure and Migraines | I have been very dizzy since starting this medication. Other than that no side effects. | I started taking Inderal because I started getting high blood pressure when I was pregnant and I kept getting sick after I had the baby. Every time I went to the Dr. My blood pressure was always 156/99 or higher. We switched from Elavil to Inderal to help with my migraines and knock out my blood pressure problem at the same time. It worked with the migraines pretty well at fist, but then stopped, I had to up the dose to 120mg. Now my blood pressure is going up again. Not sure if I will stay on it or not. | F | 22 | 7 months | 12/16/2004 | 5 | Migraines | Very occasional mild dizzyness | Migraines almost all gone at 120mg LA | F | 35 | 1 years | 12/28/2004 | 3 | | 1/8/2005 | 3 | | 1/17/2005 | 4 | | 2/1/2005 | 5 | Benign Essential Tremor | none | This drug works VERY well for benign essential tremor. When I started taking it, for the first time in years, no one asked | F | 42 | 9 years | 2/4/2005 | 5 | Benign Essential Tremor | none. except if I forget to take it, heart races and hands shake. I always take my propranolol- 60 mg. 1 time a day. | This drug works VERY well for benign essential tremor. When I started taking it, no one asked | F | 42 | 9 years | 2/4/2005 | 4 | chest pain/heart murmur/valve defec | sleepiness about an hour after taking, reduction of anger! | My husband was given this drug due to a valve defect that causes him severe chest pain, body aches and bad circulation. It has helped greatly with only small, infrequent episodes of pain now. If he forgets to take it the sypmtoms come back immediately. One very nice side effect was to seriously calm his temper which we hadnt realized was all that out of control. We call it the Happy Pill! The only problem is that if he runs out he has overwhelming rage and small triggers. | M | 31 | 3 months | 2/6/2005 | 2 | essential tremor | feeling of weakness | didn't work | M | 38 | 2 months | 2/9/2005 | 5 | essential tremor in hands | fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite for a while, lost endurance | ......but on the bright side, it made my hands stop shaking! | F | 20 | 2 years | 3/27/2005 | 4 | Migraines | Huge emotional volatility. Worst on first day, better after 5 days | I've been taking this for 5 days and it has prevented 2 migraines I should have gotten (based on triggers). But the first day I took the medication I totally lost it emotionally over something at work that wasn't actually a very big deal. Crying, wrote nasty rageful emails (thank god didn't send them), etc. The next day I didn't understand why I had been so upset--I definitely could see I had overreacted. I have continued to have more moderate overreactions to negative things, but not to that extent. (At least I can now hide my reaction from co-workers.) This type of overreaction is very much not like me. I plan to continue this medication for 3 weeks to gauge more fully its effectiveness and see if this side effect gets better. | F | 37 | 5 days | 4/18/2005 | 5 | Arrythmia,hypertension,tremors,migr | The positive effect of this medicine has been so overwhelming, I really havent noticed any significant negative side effects. | I am taken a daily dose of 120mg..Body weight: 195,lean muscular build,6'1 | M | 40 | 2 years | 5/7/2005 | 4 | essential tremor | Tunnel vision--could hardly read. Some chest pain. Depression which was very possibly unrelated. | The tremor (a twitch in my head) became less severe but would still come back on some days. Chest pain after upping the dose worried me, but the tunnel vision made me want to quit the most. I've never seen it listed as a side effect, but it's hard to believe I was just imagining it and it seems to have lessened as I reduced the dose. Either it reduced the tremor or made me stop noticing it. I don't really care either way. | M | 23 | 4 weeks | 5/13/2005 |
