Common Questions and Answers about Inderal la for headaches

inderal

Avatar n tn t aggravate tremors and so your feeling of increased head shaking cannot be attributed to Inderal. For a person with an essential tremor, the starting dose of Inderal is 40 mg twice a day. Based on the tremor response and/or Inderal side effects, your healthcare provider may increase or decrease the Inderal dosage. Hence, the dose you are taking is suboptimum and may not be of any benefit in your tremor.
Avatar n tn My daughter is 27 and has been having headaches for a year. We went through all of the test of the brain and nothing was found. We had an echocardiogram yesterday and it showed mild PFO, mild mitral regurg., and mitral mitral valve prolapse. Do you think her headaches are caused by the PFO. They have been using different meds to try to help with the headaches and now she is on Inderal LA 80 once a day. It helps some but what do we need to do? Do we need to go through with the TEE or what?
Avatar n tn i have been taking these capsules called inderal la for my depression and anxiety and they are not helping at all with my condition and i wanted to know if anybody else was taking the same medication and if it has helped them.
Avatar f tn On January 18, 2011, my doctor put me on Inderal LA 60 mg because a stupid doctor upped my thyroid medicine too much and my heart rate and BP went off the chart. I have not taken any thyroid hormone since January 18th. While the Inderal has helped lower the BP and heart rate, I am having significant side effects from it and just wondered if others had experienced the same thing. I am quite fatigued but the most disturbing thing is I'm having very vivid and scary dreams.
Avatar n tn I too suffer from them for the past 8 years and currently take Inderal LA 120mg once a day. It prevents the migraines, although sometimes my sinus headaches can trigger a migraine but its a rare thing. I know for me, stress triggers most of my migraines. Talk to your doctor. Im only being treated by my GP.
Avatar n tn I have been on Inderal for many years for a tremor in my hand. Inderal is prescribed for short term anxiety like the kind you get before having to speak in public, headaches, and blood pressure. I have never had any BP problems on it, but my pulse is lower....which is a good thing! I wouldn't worry, I think you'll be fine, but if really concerned talk to your doctor about it. Take care!
Avatar f tn Told by primary that I will have to go on ACE inhibitor because this means my heart is not slowing between beats. By the way, I have been on 120 mgs a day of Inderal LA for severe migraines, throwing PVC and palpitaitions for 18 years -- fabulous medication. Question: Since my BP - diastolic is never (except one recent time after bites) above 80 and usually 60 to 74, this could be a false reading if the bites were in fact Lymes disease or not relationship?
Avatar f tn Results vary among people, but, for migraines, I was taking 240 mg Inderal LA (Propranolol slow release) every day, in divided doses, I was fine. One site I just viewed suggested dosing as 40mg twice a day of Standard Propranolol or 80 mg Slow Release once a day. For the Standard Propranolol, they listed 640 mg as the maximum per day, in divided doses, so you're clearing that by a wide margin.
Avatar n tn i took inderal for years i took 10 mg twice a day , it was good for me but after a while it didnt help with my pac/pvc so i switched to timiolol and its great, bneen on it for 17 years with no problems .
Avatar f tn I was on Norvasc. Inderal la, long lasting Nitro and Nitroquick. My blood pressure was 80/60 most of the time. I felt like **** always tired, constant chest pain, headaches, muscle aches all I did was sleep. My new cardio told me to stop everything. Needless to say I need to slowly come off the enderal. But since Coming off everything I actually feel much better. I have energy again With no chest pain at this time. All muscle pain has gone away also.
Avatar f tn Hi I have many different heart arrhythmias and I take Inderal la 60 , my heart rate is most of the time in the 50's I am having a Colonoscopy and my Dr. wants me to do Magnesium-Dulcolax prep . I feel that it would be dangerous to take it since that would probably increase my slow heart rate. What is a safe prep for people with heart condition like that?
Avatar f tn Thanks for the reply.....I agree the hardest part is taking propafenone 3x's aday. Dr.had me stop the Propafenone( I don't really know why) and go on 80 mg.of Inderal LA....wow....I went to pieces as far as my AF....stayed on the propafenone for 7 days....got worse everyday. With Drs' ok I went back to propafenone 325 x 3 and Inderal 10mg x 2 aday...maybe they will formulate a LA form of propafenone soon.
Avatar f tn If this happens, you may want to consider if it is possible for you to afford to pay for the Inderal out-of-pocket. Otherwise, I know that there are programs in America, especially through the pharmaceutical companies themselves, where you can apply for prescription medications to be covered if you cannot afford them yourself. You may want to contact the pharmaceutical company that makes Inderal and inquire if they offer such a program.
1664685 tn?1333727482 Yeah I normally have awful migraines but this past week they've been worse than ever. I'm also on inderal (for headaches and for a heart problem) and I'll warn you that it kinda drags you down when you first take it, but it's a pretty good medicine. I hate fioricet with a passion, but it is prescribed frequently during pregnancy. I really hope it helps you out because it is a fairly effective headache med...so sorry you're having the headaches and I hope they ease soon!
957923 tn?1246732553 I take Inderal LA 120mg 1x a day and I also take bcp (Yasmin) and Metformin 500mg 2x for weight loss. My doctor knew I was on Inderal LA and said it was fine. Talk to your doctor about getting on Metformin. It works great and with that I've lost 60 + lbs with it. I have all the symptoms that you have too, except I don't have high blood pressure. I wouldn't consider the lap band surgery (only as a last resort).
778037 tn?1377986200 how long does it take for this to start working? Is it days, weeks? I have been taking it since Thursday and no relief yet. I will give it time...
Avatar m tn In 2006, I had an infection in my tonsils so bad that I had a temperature of 104 for one week straight, and then 101 for 3 weeks. I was in the hospital twice for elevated heart rate, the first time I was stuck at 140, the second my BPM was 185 while resting, even while observed for hours at the hospital. The ER doctors were stumped, but noticed when my temperature when down via meds, my heart rate would lower to 100-115.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am a 28 year old female and have had migraines since the birth of my daughter in 1999. I have tried several different preventative medications including Inderal LA, which I no longer take. I now take Imitrex 100mg PRN- but have noticed a few changes in my symptoms. I have never experienced an aura-I usually get the pain on one side(usually my left) that generates to behind my left eye. The headaches pretty much incapacitate me- I am nauseated-feel dizzy-overall malaise.
Avatar n tn i took citlopram and felt suicidal and my doctor stoped those and gave me half inderal la capsules. but these capsules are not working at all and my health is getting worse.
Avatar f tn Correct. Nobody on here are doctors, but we can give you our opinons. I suggest to find a doctor ASAP to get this under control. I also suffer from migraines (not period related) but you may need something along the line of Imitrex to ease the pain away and something like Inderal LA to control how many migraines you get. I've been on Inderal LA for over 5 years now and been a suffer since I was 15. As far as your gyn issues, you need a doctor.

Avatar m tn Getting to sleep is a problem. November, MRI everything normal, nausea starting as headaches are constant but staying at a level 8 for several hours per day. December, spinal tap, normal range, new meds Divalproex 500 MG, 4 tablets per day, no effect, naseau more often and more severe, starting to sleep 1 or 2 hours in the afternoon, very unusual for him. January, headaches 8 to 9, constant, naseau to the point of vomiting and more frequent.

Avatar n tn I'm a 44yo Female who has been on Inderal LA 60mg for 20 years. I have recently starting having what I suspect is cold-induced asthma. At other times I also seem to have a dry cough, feel irritated in my trachea, have a raspy voice and have to clear my throat a lot. I don't notice any wheezing although I do think my deep breathing sounds different, more congested, hard to explain.
