| 1 | Tachycardia and pvcs | My anxiety has gone thru the roof. Terrible dreams, weight gain, hands and feet constantly going to sleep, heart palpitations, extremely tired all the time. My advise try another beta blocker don't let this be your first option. I took it for over 2 years before these side effects appeared. | Terrible drug!!! | F | 28 | 3 years 60mg 2X day | 8/20/2020 | 1 | Headaches | Lost feeling to my legs if I didn't move them every now and then | M | 17 | 3 months | 5/16/2016 | 1 | Hypertension | Severe diarrhea and headaches. | Controlled blood pressure. But I could not tolerate the side effects. | F | 31 | 4 days 40 x2 day | 1/25/2016 | 1 | high blood pressure over active thy | I took 1 30mg pill at noon and less than an hour later I was nausea and sleepy. Felt as though I had been on a rollercoaster ride that spends non stop. I also began to feel lethargic and caught myself taking in large breaths of air and releasing slowing to calm my mind. By 9pm..The side effects were still severe. I went to bed and woke up at 1:00am to the worst stomach cramps and sharp pains in the back. It was non stop all through the night. Please be cautious of these things. If I had taking the recommended dosage of 60mg I definitely would of had to go to E.R. After taking 30mg I couldn't drive my daughter to school or go to work the next day. I won't continue this medication. | F | 35 | 1 days 20MG | 4/23/2015 | 1 | Migraine Prophylaxis | Vivid nightmares, irregular heart palpitations stopped taking it after that. | M | 30 | 3 days 10 | 10/17/2013 | 1 | migranes, hypertension | mild depression, have gained 30 pounds, still have headaches, not sleeping well. memory not very good. | F | 52 | 5 months 80mg 2X day | 4/30/2013 | 1 | hypertension | memory loss,hair loss,depression and headache.It was irritate me with lot of hair fall n memory loss.I was used 2yr's back 3mnths but still not controle my hair loss n memory loss.This much side effect is occured from using this tablet why doctor suggest me i can't believe this.Stupid Doctor falt badcow. | M | 23 | 6 months 40mg | 4/20/2013 | 1 | Essential Tremor | The first side effect I noticed occurred within the first week. I had sleep terrors and hallucinations at night, so bad that I let out blood curdling screams that scared my family to death. This occurred intermittantly throughout the entire time I took the medicine. The second side effect I had was a feeling of heaviness. And that makes sense: I gained 30 pounded within the first few months!! No matter how healthy I ate, I continued to gain weight. The third, rather strange side effect was that my blood pressure went up 30 points! I actually have always had low normal blood pressure (108/70 generally). My blood pressure jumped so high I couldn't believe it. The final side effect I had was extreme bloating and distension in my abdomen. | I actually had very little positive effect from the medicine. My essential tremor had begun to affect my speaking voice in addition to having a jerk in my left arm and hand, and shaky right hand and arms. Once I began to take hte medicine, the only thing I felt some relief with was in my speaking voice. My hands continued to shake and my left arm continued to jerk. My blood pressure jumped so much and I have gained so much weight, I have carefully weaned myself off. My doctor never warned me of any of the side effects and in my opinion, the pros vs cons convinces me... it is not worth it. My blood pressure has already gone back to normal, my voice is still pretty good but my weight really concerns me for the possibility of heart problems. | F | 60 | 360 days 80mg ExRel 1X day | 5/21/2012 | 1 | Migraine headaches, chronic daily | Crazy weight gain - 20lbs, no energy, not able to get aerobic exercise in... | F | 44 | 2 years 40mg | 4/30/2012 | 1 | chronic migriane | Weight gain, water retention, feeling of heaviness, muscle weakness, nightmares, severe depression, agitation, antisocial, moody....but it did stop the migraines. | F | 39 | 2 months 20-60 | 3/22/2012 | 1 | Headaches | This medicine is evil. It caused me to go into a deep depression so bad that I almost lost my marriage and my life. My wife kept telling the doctor over months that I was getting more depressed and he told me to think happy thoughts. Finally she got me to another doctor that changed my meds. Now I am two months off of inderal and I still have to take Prozac to try to balance out my head. The doctor said that it may take as long as I was on the medicine to get me back to normal. It made my mind grab onto hurtful things from the past and made them feel as though it had just happened. The doctor said that it created a post traumatic stress disorder. Luckily my wife held on to me and forced the issue to get me the help I needed because I was completely done living. I have never had depression so I didn't realize that there was anything wrong with me. Thank god my wife did. | Do not take this Medicine or if you do please have someone watch you for signs of depression. | M | 45 | 7 months 80mg 2X day | 3/17/2012 | 1 | Migraine | Great with preventing migraine, but side effects made it not worth it for me. Same eating habit and diet but gained 15 lbs in three months. I guess metabolism halted because of low HR (60's). Weaned off over two months and slowly started exercise again and avoiding my migraine trigger at all cause. | F | 42 | 6 months 30mg | 2/17/2012 | 1 | Anxiety | Tiredness, shortness of breath | I think this drug is giving me asthma. A lot of times I have to take a big gasp of breath. It also isn't really helping my anxiety any and makes me so tired I can't take my lunchtime walk. I think I will be sticking to Valium. | F | 48 | 6 months 20 3X day | 11/8/2011 | 1 | Anxiety | Could not feel my heart, numbness, depression | F | 34 | 20 days 3X day | 9/26/2011 | 1 | migraines, high blood pressure | exhaustion, weight gain 30 lbs, sore throats, zero libido, extreme apathy and lack of interest in life, depression, aches and pains, swelling of extremities, inability to stay asleep, EXHAUSTION! | I have never been overweight in my life until taking this drug and have never been so tired and generally feeling lousy. However, I didn't begin to blame the drug until recently and uncovered websites such as this with descriptions of these side effects. I just thought I was getting older. It did lessen the frequency of headaches, no question. However, if this weight gain and feeling lousy are due to the drug, there is no question that it is not worth it. I have recently started weaning off and will see how I feel. I'm hoping that I will begin feeling better, but am so angry that I have felt so miserable for so long, and no doctor ever warned me about these possible side effects, or suggested this drug might be the cause. | F | 53 | 4 years 80 mg er 1X day | 7/27/2011 | 1 | migraine | the side effects were Peyronie's disease, i took this drug for a couple of days, at first it would cause strong erections then one day i felt a lot of pain in the testicles and then penis, then the problem begun. first i wasn't aware that the drug could cause the problem and neither the doctor did not warn of such effects. The drug was prescribed by a neurologist, who treated me for migraine pains. from what i read in the internet the side effect is irreversible or may be too costly, and and the side effect seem not to be treatable! how do i deal with this problem? is there any hope for persons suffering from this disease? | M | 36 | 7 days 80 mg 2X day | 6/15/2011 | 1 | pounding heart | none when I first started it, as I increased dose all hell broke loose! | Was on only one 10 mg per day. Then about a few months in had to go up to 4- 10mg a day. So only 40 mg. At 40 mg. I started getting weird vibrations in my head. Not hearing, feeling them. Like someone took a belt sander and hit on for a second. They would come and go , but all day long and very scary. I then thought what did I do different 7 weeks ago when they started. I realized it was when I upped this med. I then decreased it to 2 a day. Vibrations were lessened. Today is the first day I have take 0 of this stuff and I have only gotten one little vibration. No where near what I had before. I will not go on it again. If anyone has this let me know!!! I hope it gets outta my system soon! | F | 54 | 4 months 10 mgs 4X day | 3/27/2011 | 1 | high blood pressure and heart rate | tingling in my left arm, cheat aches/pains (mild), H.A. dizzy, felt bad and ended up in an E.R. | This med. may work for some, but please be careful. I suspect my high B.P. and H.R. were from too much Benadryl and Senna-Lax (a stimulant laxative). I took the Senna for several days with little help and it might have built up in my system. Please be careful with all OTC and prescription drugs. God made an amazing body, we need not pollute it with drugs in many cases. | M | 57 | 4 days 10 mg. 2X day | 12/20/2010 | 1 | Migraines, Arrythmia | Huge Weight Gain. Also, from reading others' feedback, I am now thinking that Inderal was the reason for my horrible Night Terrors (waking up and screaming, not just a little, I mean BLOODY MURDER screaming to the point that my throat hurt later). | For the longest time, I was unable to figure out why I was gaining weight even when I was eating 1200 calories a day. I couldn't cut back calories anymore or I'd be starving. I'm so disappointed because I was put on Inderal after I had lost 50 lbs... I ended up gaining 20 back. It's melting away after stopping the Inderal (just wish I had figured this out sooner!). | F | 28 | 120 1X day | 10/12/2010 Patient History | 1 | akathisia | shortness of breath; amnesia; raynaud's (cold hands and feet); extreme exhaustion; debilitating depression; acne; water retention in legs. Also withdrawal symptoms of racing heart and extreme emotional outbursts when I try to quit the drug. | Be very careful with this drug. It is considered a "high alert" medication, it is actually for cardiac conditions but also can cause them. If you think migraines are bad, what will you do when you develop asthma, a heart condition or thyroid storm (which can be fatal) from this drug? NOT WORTH IT! For side effects check out the RX list website. | M | 34 | 4 years 1X day | 8/12/2010 |
