Common Questions and Answers about Inderal la medicine

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 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 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 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.
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 f tn VESICARE,ENABLEX OR DETROL LA..........I m male and 29 yrs old ,can i also take detrol la.....Any response should be highly appreciated..........
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 n tn Cambio el alimento por su perro, esta muy possible que es la razon para las alerjias. Perros no esta humanos, y necessita alimento muy simple. A las veces, un cambio en la comida es el solucion.
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 m tn Dr. Chahine......I, too, have been diagnosed w/essential tremors. I have taken Inderal 60 LA for several years and it does help, but the tremors have gotten more intense over the years. (I am a 70 yr old female). I have tried to take mysoline and it knocked me out, so no more of that. Would increasing the dosage of Inderal help?
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).
Avatar n tn 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 f tn My endo prescribed Inderal 20 mg twice a day for my rapid heart beat he said since I was subclinical hyperthyroism right now and have been for the past year that treating the thyroid was not warrented. My question is inderal going to help my anxiety and my rapid heart beat? this seems like a high dose of bld pressure medicine for someone who has never taken any before. Is the dosage in the right range?
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 I do not have any experience with "inderal" but see it is a beta blocker that can be used to control/reduce high heart rate. I have used Toprol and Metroprolo, and in heavy dose. My experience is that those beta blocker do reduce the heart rate and in high dose will cause some dizziness in me. I currently am taking 50 mg of Metroprolo twice a day and have little or no side effects.
Avatar f tn 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. They need to run tests on you to confirm what you are dealing with. I know how you feel on finding a doctor, I had allot of issues with finding the right doctor.
Avatar f tn I had it prescribed by a Maternal Fetal Medicine Expert (a guy who really knows his medicine and the safety of it during pregnancy!) when I was pregnant with my son who was born completely healthy and full-term on July 14th. Don't worry about it whatsoever!
Avatar m tn I dont have any direct experience with Inderal, but just wanted to say that if a side effect of medicine makes you miserable, its ok to talk to your doc about using a different med. Its often trial-and-error with our meds until we find one that works best. Symptom control is great, as long as the side effects dont create a new problem. Hope you feel better tomorrow.
Avatar n tn My doctor prescribed 20mg of Inderal daily for a public speaking phobia and anxiety. When I take it, I find that it's slightly more difficult to breathe and that I have an itchy feeling in my chest w/ a minor dry cough. I have always had mild asthma, though for the last several years, it has been extremely well controlled. I have only used albuterol once in the past 3-4 years. I've never visited a hospital for an asthma attack.
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 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 m tn My issue is, I'm extremely medicine phobic. I'm literally terrified of meds, even antibiotics, and most of the time I won't take anything prescribed to me. It took me months to start taking medicine for my acid reflux, and over a year to start taking a beta blocker for my heart. I'm in my late 20s, male, and I've had panic attacks and agoraphobia since 2000. I am tired of doctors giving me conflicting information about what I should do.
1664685 tn?1333727482 I went to the doc yesterday and talked to him because I have been having headaches all the time and tylenol just wasn't helping..he put me on inderal to take every 6 hours and then gave me fioricet to take when the headaches got really bad but he said not to take it a lot because it is a category c med...I'm kinda scared to take it but I guess my doc wouldn't give it to me if the benefits didn't out weight the risks...
21064 tn?1309308733 Googling a topic is a great idea, but if you don't have the time or inclination to sort through a lot of webites (good and bad), here's another great way to learn more about a specific health topic: I'm not sure if everyone knows this, but there is also a huge database of health information available on MedHelp's site. In addition to information on medications, the database also includes information and discussions on diseases, conditions, and testing.
Avatar f tn I used to be on Inderal (80mg LA and 20mg for breakthrough episodes) and after awhile it seemed to lose its effectiveness. I also took Xanax, but only rarely and it helped with the anxiety. At one point, I was put on a daily dose of Xanax and within a couple weeks, I realized I had to increase the dose and/or frequency to maintain the effect. I stopped taking it daily, and for the past 10 years, I have only taken it on rare occasions...
