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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi Lauren,
I know that Inderal can be taken for migraines and anxiety and that it quite effective in both.
I am on 80mg of Long Acting Inderal twice a day for anxiety and it really has helped. It is released slowly into the blood stream and lasts whereas other beta blockers can be wearing off within an hour. Inderal has worked wonders with me.
As xanweaner has said, visit your doctor to discuss the options and go from there.
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?
i took it for about 14 mths for svt ,and i found it to be ok ,there are better ones for svt ,like neiblet{nebivolol} which is a more selective for the heart ,but inderal is known to be good for migraine as well...for the first few weeks just watch standing up quick and things like that ,it is better started on a low dose and moved up as needed,,but apart from that it seems to be well tolerated by most.
sometimes Tenex is also used in conjunction with stimulants to help control ADHD symptoms....first I have heard of inderal (brand name for propranolol) being used but makes sense...Always to remember to ask your doctor any questions about your meds and health care...the only stupid questions are the ones not asked....Also beta blockers are also given to help control migraines to regulate fluxs in BP...not because too high but slight changes can trigger migraines...
I have been having severe migraines for the past year and a half. I've been on 3 different medications including, inderal 10 milligrams which stopped working, inderal 25 milligrams which caused me to black out and get dizzy, and amitriptyline 25 milligrams, which stopped working. I'm concerned because after talking to my doctor he looked at my charts and noted that I relapse with migraines every three months. These migraines are so severe it keeps me from doing my every day activities.
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.
Metformin does not give migraines. I too suffer from migraines although I am being treated with Inderal LA 120mg for mine (i take it once a day, and haven't had a migraine in years). I am also on birth control, and never had any problems with it. I do suggest for you to see another doctor. A doctor not willing to help, is not the way to go. Can I ask, are you normal weight or overweight? I ask because sometimes PCOS can be treated alone with diet.
I wouldn't worry. I've been diagnosed with the same thing. I've had headaches constantly for the last 7 years or so (everyday). I've seen a doctor and he has put me on Inderal. It's blood pressure tablets and it works wonders. Go ask your doctor about it. I've also been advised by nurses that magnesium (the vitamin) tablets works well too. Pins and needles is something I've never experienced but if your doctor isn't worried, don't stress.
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?
My neuro said that given my symptoms, it is unlikely that it is hemiplegic migraines, but could be a possibility. She took me off Toprol XL and prescribed Inderal LA as this will respond to more receptors in the body other than just the heart. Hopefully this will help not only with my Tachy but will prevent "episodes" if this is in fact hemiplegic migraines. She also said that if they are HM's and I don't have the pain associated with a migraine when these episodes happen...
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.
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.

I dont know what the problem is with me but it's really starting to affect me. I have horrible mood swings, I get irratiable quickly, I have an extreme short temper. I could be as happy as can be one min, and then somebody says the wrong thing to me my mood quickly jumps to being angry and mad. I tend to alwasy make people feel giulty about anything, and when I get mad at somebody I end of feeling guilty myself the next day and start to cry.
