| 5 | | 7/15/2009 | 5 | High Blood Pressure & Essential Tre | (see propranolol) | (see propranolol) | F | 68 | 80 mg 1X day | 8/1/2014 Patient History | 4 | | 2/1/2005 | 3 | | 1/8/2005 | 3 | | 1/17/2005 | 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 | 5 | Public Speaking | None | 20mg 1 hour before presentation or speech and you will not feel nervous at all | M | 24 | 1 times 20mg 1X AN | 10/26/2010 | 2 | attempt at managing anxiety | Urinary retention, weakness | The doctor was reluctant to prescribe this, but I was desperate for something to help with my severe crippling anxiety. But he was right, it wasn't for me, and it only gave about an hour of relief in the 4-hour duration of it's effect. Still, not worth it for me, since I was so painfully bloated in that time from drinking water, but not having to pee. This is better for those with high blood pressure. Mine was too low at the time, which was the main reason the doctor didn't want me on it. My pulse and heart rate were okay, though, so I was able to convince him. I only took that one pill, and then eventually threw the rest away. | F | 42 | 1 times .10 mg 1X AN | 10/25/2013 | 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 | 3 | Chronic migraine | Severe dizziness and weight gain. Felt bloated all the time | F | 46 | 1 days 60 mg | 5/9/2013 | 3 | anxiety | No side effects but10 mgs didn't do much. I will try again after consulting my doctor | M | 42 | 1 days 10 | 12/13/2011 | 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 | 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 | 2 | Anxiety/Hyperthyroidism | Diarrhea, dizziness, disorientation | The second day I took this drug I woke up, took it in the morning on an empty stomach, and about 30 minutes later while sitting at my computer had explosive diarrhea without any warning and soiled myself. This has NEVER happened to me before. This drug may be great for some people, but for others the side-effects will probably outweigh the benefits. | M | 35 | 2 days 20MG 2X day | 3/13/2012 | 1 | migraine | severe, sudden diarrhea, lightheaded, fatigue | I had an attack of diarrhea so sudden & severe today on the way home from work that I didn't make it to a bathroom on time & messed myself. I have had irritable bowel for 20+ yrs. & have never embarrassed myself this way. I also got a headache today, although 2 days may not be enough to work on the migraines. I may give it a few more days but if I get diarrhea again, I'm stopping it. | F | 46 | 2 days | 1/3/2006 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | Migraines | Don't take it! On day 1, I had heart publications, & throughout the other days I felt light headed and dizzy. This was nothing though compared the nightmares. They are so vivid & real. All relating to my death. When I wake up, I still feel it happening. I am currently awake having not slept at 4am because I am scared to go back to sleep. Don't take it!! | F | 23 | 3 days 40 | 2/28/2014 | 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 |
