kimberlya...I have had migraines all my life, my sister's have them too. I have been on quite a bit, lately, the IMITREX Nasal Spray which ultimately didn't work. I have been waking up with a full blown migraine and treatment is usually too late to anything to help except a trip to the doctor's and a shot to help. I am hoping this Coragard (Nadolol) will help PREVENT them. Any comments on this for migraines would be very much appreciated.
Getting started on Nadolol - My doctor put me on Nadolol for my migraines and am hoping this works?

I also have had migrianes my whole life. I have found that Imitrex in shot form (IM) works the best and fastest. The nasal spray did not work for me either. The shot works very quickly and the injector they give you is not a regular needle but an air pressured injector (no needle) you give yourself in your thigh. You can only take 2 shots in a 24 hr period. On some occassions when it didn't work I would just go to the ER and get knocked out with 100-125 mg of demorol. Sleep is the real thing that seems to get rid of it but when your in so much pain you can't sleep, that's where the demerol would help by relieving the pain and making me sleepy so I could get into a deep 8 hr sleep and wake up without the migraine.

Hi there, my Dr. also put my on Nadolol, or Corgard, for prevention of migraines. It also helps lower blood pressure. I've only been taking 20mg for a little over a week now and it hasn't helped, but my Dr. said to give it at least 6-8 weeks. I am praying it works because I take way too much migraine pills (Maxalt) and that can't be good for me. I hope it is working for you. Please let me know how you are doing on it.
