| 5 | High blood pressure & headaches | I do not have any side effects, maybe vivid dreams, though. Satisfied with this medicine. Took away headaches and lowered BP. | F | 54 | 2 years 80mg | 5/29/2014 | 5 | Migraines and Daily Headaches | A little tired and trouble staying asleep at night. | This drug changed my life. It took about two weeks to work, but then it greatly reduced my migraines. I was having headaches about 5 days a week and now every once in awhile. | F | 39 | 3 weeks 60mg 1X day | 12/6/2011 | 5 | Migraine | Vivid Dreams | Ever had a drug that changed your life? Well this certainly was a game changer for me! I wonder why I suffered for years before any Dr. thought to prescribe this for me..such a shame they hadn't done it sooner! Initially the drug made me VERY VERY tired (at probably the time in my life when I needed the most not to be any more severely exhausted than I was as a mother who works full-time and had an 8 month old and a 4 year old!) My Doctor told me to stick it out for six whole weeks and that I wouldn't be dissapointed...Those 6 weeks were really rough (and it was the full 6 weeks, I tell ya!) and I so wanted to give up, but I am sooooo glad I stuck it out! All of you people who give up on it after a short time...I'm here to tell you, don't. The Dr.'s goal was to eliminate my migraines completely. While I can't say it has eliminated them, it has hands down reduced the severity of my migraines and eliminated the naseau that I had along with it and for that alone I am greatful. I no longer live my life fearing the next migraine or cutting short a vacation in the middle of the night to go home because of a dibilitating migraine attack. So, please give it a chance. Stick it out for a whole six weeks, if at the end of six weeks you still don't like it, then stop. But I'll bet you'll probably be thanking me, instead. :) | F | 38 | 5 years 160 MG 1X day | 7/26/2010 | 5 | outward signs of anxiety | none. maybe low energy but that is not unusual for me anyway. | worked perfectly at immediately stopping the physical symptoms of performance anxiety. | F | 34 | 3 years 1X day | 7/25/2010 | 5 | Chronic Migraine | Feeling more calm, slightly harder to do cardio workout, vivid funny dreams - overall negligible! | I have not had a headache for 1 week straight. This is a miracle as I am used to 2 or 3 per week. I even enjoyed a glass of RED wine and was fine. WOW that is like a another miracle. Sleep has been fine as long as I stay on my regular schedule, which is what I find to be key to anybody's good night's sleep. As per the weight gain, I have not had any. As a fitness nutritionist and fitness instructor I believe that if you eat calories according to your BMR and work out regularly including cardio 3-4 times a week you should not have too many problems with weight gain, no matter what drug your on. If you are still gaining weight drop the calories! We will see how the long term effects are of Inderal LD 80mg (generic), but so far it has given me a better quality of life. | F | 30 | 21 days 80mg/LA 1X day | 7/13/2010 | 5 | Migraine headaches | Small weight gain, some loss of energy | Really helped to prevent migraines. I have not had a true full blown migraine since beginning this medication. I still get the aura and very mild pain, but that is certainly tolerable! | F | 46 | 23 years | 11/19/2009 | 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 | 5 | | 7/15/2009 | 5 | BP/Migraines | None after first 2 months. | Commented back in March regarding the product and was having issues. Once they adjusted the meds not only has my blood pressure been lowered, but I have been migraine free. I've also managed to lose 15 pounds....not sure if it's related, but I have the energy now that I didn't have before. If you on it, hang in there as it may take awhile to get the right dosage, but once you do, you'll feel great. | F | 40 | 4 months | 6/25/2009 | 5 | anxiety | great for anxiety when public speaking, use only when facing stressful situation | M | 30 | 4 years | 8/16/2008 | 5 | Migraine | Extreme exhaustion which subsided after reducing mg | I started taking 80mg and was so tired that I could not get out of bed after sleeping 10-12 hrs per night, but did notice an extreme reduction in my severe migraines. So, under the care of my neurologist, we lowered the dosage over a month's time and ended up taking 20mg. I have had no side effects and it completely eliminated my migraines for approximately 3 years. I get some now, but infrequently and the severity is much less than it used to be. | F | 30 | 6 years | 3/17/2008 | 5 | Essential tremor and HPB | Sometime a lack of energy. And long time to ejaculate too. | My doctor was an old man with old medecine:). I've started to have essential tremor at age of 20 after years of cocaine abuse. When i've stop to take drugs , my hands was like a hearthquake and mu bllod pressure was around 170 on 100. My doctor put me on Inderal LA 160mg. This medication probably saved my life. My shaking hands has stopped after 1 week. My blood pressure is normal. The only problems with Inderal is that you can't ever stop it. I've tried 1 time and it was like a nightmare. I went back on Inderal after 3 day. It cause me problem in my sexual life by a anormal long time to ejaculate.New beta blocker are probably better now but for me, Inderal LA was the right drug. | M | 30 | 10 years | 3/3/2008 | 5 | pvc's, headaches | none | F | 44 | 4 years | 2/16/2008 | 5 | tachycardia (from hyperthyroid) | slowed down feeling; weight gain | I think anyone with serious tachycardia ought to ask doc about hyperhyroid issue, too; I started with the inderal and it did ease the heart symptoms, but we still needed to treat the underlying disease, not just the rapid heart. Inderal worked great to slow down the heart and I think also my general metabolism. I was weaned off it once the hyperthyroid condition was also treated and began to improve. | F | 48 | 6 months | 12/28/2007 | 5 | tachycardia | severe fatigue and memory loss | My tachycardia was so severe that I will deal with the fatigue. My resting heart rate was, on average, 120. I couldn't sleep or do daily activities. Now, I feel normal and my resting heart rate is 80-100. I take 80mg bid. I'm 5'8 and weigh 125. | F | 31 | 7 days | 8/13/2007 | 5 | Hypertension / anxiety | Minimal dizziness and tiredness the first day | I have had high BP for many years, about 160/100. I have been a bit prone to stress and anxiety too. I tried reducing my BP w/ diet and exercise with no success. I was reluctant to take meds because of side effects. I finally gave in and my doc prescribed Inderal LA 120mg. I feel great, my BP and heart rate are normal now and the anxiety is gone. I wish I had tried this med years ago. | M | 36 | 5 days | 6/16/2007 | 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 | 5 | Migraine, palpitations | Weird dreams ( but they are fun, not scary :) ) | The palpitations have disappeared. I still get migraines, but not as many. My Doc said if needed they dosage can be increased. I'll wait and see. | F | 44 | 2 months | 4/3/2007 | 5 | migraine prevention | The worst side effect is insomnia. I have to take a sleep aid, like Ambien, to get a good night's sleep. Also, some dizziness and cold, tingly hands. But the positives outweigh the negatives. I've only had one headache in the past month. I used to get 10 to 15 per month. | I take the 160 mg. dose. I am going to ask my doctor if a lower dosage might help with the headaches, but not cause the insomnia. | M | 51 | 45 days | 1/29/2007 | 5 | migraine prevention | The worst side effect is insomnia. I have to take a sleep aid, like Ambien, to get a good night's sleep. Also, some dizziness and cold, tingly hands. But the positives outweigh the negatives. I've only had one headache in the past month. I used to get 10 to 15 per month. | M | 51 | 45 days | 1/29/2007 |
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)
