HI! Just a note. I had bad migraines for years and took Maxalt, until one day my blood pressure skyrocketed. I am just starting on Inderol. So far, no headaches, which is a blessing. Does anyone know of any side effects?

So sorry to hear about the migranes Isobel.
I’d be very cautious about taking Propanolol though for your migraine, it is designed to lower blood pressure (which could be why it helps migraine)and as a result lowers your heart rate also.Other factors in it also. Take a hot bath when you next get one, it opens up blood vessels in your lower limbs which draws the blood away from the head and may help. My Uncle, who’s a doctor, swears by it.

also fellow migraneur. I’m on no meds at the moment due to other medical reasons, which can be scary…however, I also take propranolol (inderol) and have found it works for me – course, as you’ll know, it won’t work for everyone.
Take care,
India
