| 5 | | 7/15/2009 | 3 | Tachycardia | Caused accessive fatigue, cant do work on computer or driving or any kind of work that involves mental activity | can not give up now, if I give up, they symptoms appear again. I started taking shorter doseses, by taking half tablet every day, then half tab ever second day and then half tab every week. Now I see lot of fatique every time I use it. | M | 1 years | 6/1/2007 | 2 | propranolol for essential tremor | Wheezing. | No more beta-blockers for me. | F | 5 days | 10/1/2007 | 5 | PTSD | none | helped anxiety a great deal for my son. He used to freak out going anywhere unplanned | M | 10 | 1.5 years | 10/17/2009 | 1 | Migraines | Drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, stomach pains/nausea, depression, difficulty concentrating, aggression, vivid dreams, loss of personality. | I began taking this because I was having migraines everyday. It didn't help my migraines any, but I didn't really give it a chance to. After 5 days of the side effects I decided they weren't worth it. | F | 17 | 5 days | 2/13/2009 | 2 | anxiety | WEIGHT GAIN!! tiredness, lack of concentration | being a student it is essential to be able to concentrate and be alert. This has made my studies get worse. Don't recommend to students. | F | 18 | 6 months | 2/26/2008 | 5 | high blood pressure | When I am running for about a quarter of a mile, my heart starts to feel super wierd, like it's going to throw up. But then... I walk for 50 feet or so and it's gone and I can run forever. Other than that, no side effects | High blood pressure runs in my family. Plus, I have anxiety, so this medicine is really helping me. My blood pressure is normal! | F | 19 | 4 days | 10/12/2006 | 3 | rapid heart rate, migraines | Trouble falling asleep, and trouble staying asleep, loss of appetite | I haven't been taking inderal for long, but I have heard of the side effects it can cause, mostly unpleasant ones. The inderal hasn't taken full effect yet, but my migraines are not as strong. My heart rate was in the mid 80s, and has fallen to the mid 60s, but sometimes goes down to 55. | F | 19 | 3 days | 10/28/2006 | 3 | generalised panic disorder | upset stomach, nausea, fatigue and shortness of breath, sleeping disturbances including crazy crazy dreams! Slight confusion like your brains gone on a short holiday and left you behind, this was particularly bad when i accidentally took two one day. | Mixed feelings, i was having mild panic attacks daily which were getting steadily worse and desperate for somehting to help, at first the medication was a relief but the side effects, especially nausea and sleep disturbances are driving me mental. Also although my rapid heartrate and other psysiological symptoms are gone i still get anxious for no reason, so i dont think il continue with it. | F | 20 | 6 weeks 80mg 1X day | 7/25/2010 | 3 | Chronic Migraine Prevention | Got rid of my everyday migraine but am having side effects of itching all over my hands, feet, and legs, and extreme insomnia. No more than 4 hours a night and I take it at night, anyone know if taken during the day helps? | I have been having migraines everyday for the past year and have been on Maxalt but since I take so many insurance quit paying to refill anymore than 7 a month. I just switched to Inderal LA two weeks ago and immediately my headaches were gone, I have had to take only 2 Maxalt since then. I just started having strange and severe itching on my legs, feet, and hands that is really starting to bother me and I havent been able to sleep more than 4 hours a night. I take 80mg every night before bed, does anyone have any suggestions on another time I could take it to lessen the insomnia? Please let me know!!!! | F | 20 | 2 weeks | 2/26/2008 | 3 | Tremors | I only take the pill at night,becaue it makes me very sleepy. | I still have the shakes. With me, the medicine works for the first couple of months and then it just stops working. I've been on two different types of beta blockers and I haven't found one that really works for me for a long period of time. | F | 21 | 3 years | 10/4/2006 | 2 | Tachycardia/POTS | Excessive Fatigue, Major Disorientation, Constant Yawning, and Tiredness, Lethargy. | Was put on this for my racing pulse. It worked really well, but it shut my brain down. I could not think or function. I gave up shortly thereafter. | M | 21 | 7 days | 4/12/2007 | 2 | Anxiety/Panic Attacks | Feel tired all the time, no energy at all, can't concentrate. Dizziness and often feel like I'm about to faint. Have been eating a lot more sugary foods than usual - cravings possibly due to lack of energy caused by drug? | Suffered from panic attacks for a few months, the physical symptoms of which were shaking, throat swelling causing inablitity to breathe, sweating and headaches. I have been on the drug for eight days 80mg dose per day, It does stop the physical symptoms of panic attacks but I have no energy whatsoever, feel very depressed and can't concentrate. I need to find an alternative as I can barely get through the day in college. Would not recommend this for anyone who is slightly depressed or has a tendency to get depressed, as not having energy or the will to do anything could worsen depression. | F | 21 | 8 days 80mg 1X day | 2/26/2010 | 4 | Migraines | I am very apetheic, insomnia is a huge side effect. I am very apethetic to hyper sometimes-mostly don't care. I have had mild bout of depression on the medicine for 5 months. Started out on 60mg, then to 80mg (where I should have started) had a few break through migraines after 2.5 months on 80 mg. I went up to 120mg for 5 months, had only one break through migraine, taking my self off with left over meds due to no health insurance. | Depression weirdest thing experienced for me to date. Just don't care almost all the time. | M | 23 | 10 months | 8/2/2006 | 3 | migraines | Significant weight gain (35 lbs in a year). Felt very sluggish and dissoriented. | Helped with migrained, but did not stop me from getting them, probably cut the nunber by half, but made them less intense. Eventually developed a tolerance for the med. Felt tired all the time. Doctor called it | F | 24 | 14 months | 10/3/2004 | 5 | Migraines | None that I've noticed. | Excellent for my migraines. Imitrex wouldn't even work for my migraines. I've been keeping track of my headaches since I have been taking Inderal and I've only had 2 a month since starting the medication 3 months ago. I'm so glad I finally found something that worked! | F | 25 | 3 months | 4/6/2007 | 4 | Chronic Migrains | Very vivid dreams, fatigue, and dizziness from lower blood pressure. | Since I have been on this med I have only had 2 migrains. | F | 25 | 5 months | 6/11/2007 | 4 | Migraine prevention | none really | helped reduce the frequency of my migraines. also helped with physical symptoms of anxiety. | F | 25 | 3 months 120 mg 1X day | 9/29/2012 | 4 | Migraines | Extremely vivid dreams-waking up talking and seeing my dreams occur in the room after I've woken up. Listlessness and lethargy. | Worried about long term effects of taking medication that effects your heart! don't want to be on medication for the rest of my life, but super happy that I haven't had a migraine in 4 months!! | F | 25 | 4 months | 4/15/2008 | 1 | Migraines/MAV/High Blood Pressure | Didn't lower heart-rate as much as other beta blockers have; light headed upon standing; shortness of breath with any amount of exertion (more pronounced than with other beta blockers I've tried); extreme moodiess/sadness/depression/anxiety. | I wrote a similar review for Inderal...I also tried the LA version (since my headaches returned 3-4 hours after a dose of regular Inderal...apparently it has a very short half life). Background: I've suffered from migraines and high BP for years. Migraines & BP were previously under control with 50 mg of Atenolol once per day (took this for a year). 6 months ago, had sudden dizziness and worsening migraines. Numerous tests have concluded it's MAV (migraine associated vertigo), and I have been working from home for the past 6 months because I can't drive due to the dizziness. I tried Inderal LA after having some initial success with regular Inderal for a few weeks. I took it for 2 days, and was honestly afraid that I would hurt myself - I became so sad and depressed...like I would be cooking dinner or cleaning the house, and I would suddenly burst into random tears for NO REASON WHATSOEVER. Granted, I'm a little down due to the MAV and headaches, but I've never felt so hopeless and depressed in my life...ever. It scared the hell out of me, and I quit taking this drug immediately...I went back to Atenolol (it doesn't control the headaches as well and makes me a bit light-headed) until I find something better, and I haven't had this happen since. Many people swear by this drug, but for me, it was definitely a bad fit...just goes to show you that drugs affect everyone differently! | F | 25 | 2 days | 1/2/2010 |
INDERAL LA (PROPRANOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, shaking (tremors), and other conditions as determined by your doctor. It is used after a heart attack to improve survival. It is also used to prevent migraine headaches and chest pain (angina). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Preventing chest pain can help improve your ability to exercise. This drug works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body (such as epinephrine) that affect the heart and blood vessels. This effect reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. FDA Approval Date: 1983-04-19 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
