InnoPran XL (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: I've been taking Innopran XL for almost 2 years now, and I've had one headache in that time frame. Previously used to get 2 a week. It has changed my life.

Inderal LA (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: Before taking Inderal, I was on 300mg of Topamax daily, which was a miracle drug for me. It completely got rid of my headaches, however, the side affects of Topamax were hard. Now I've been using Inderal for months and have found it almost as effective as Topamax but with little side affects. I highly recommend it.

I used to have migraines several times a week. When I was diagnosed with migraines the first thing they put me on was propranolol and since starting the medication, I haven't had a single migraine.

propranolol for Migraine Prevention: I've been on propranolol for several months now to treat my migraines. Before taking this medication I had several attacks per week, often had some headaches that would last for several days. I have now gone weeks without having a migraine. I've been on other drugs for migraines, and I'd highly recommend this medication.

propranolol for Performance Anxiety: I get situational panic attacks in high stress meetings or interviews - these started a few years ago.
My doctor prescribed me 10mg of Propranolol to take 10-30 minutes before meetings, speeches, etc. This calms me down, stops me worrying about the possibility to have a panic attack, and makes me a much calmer person. Having a pill on me at all times in case the situation arises has given me such confidence that I won't have an attack now that I rarely get them anymore.

Propranolol only takes a matter of minutes until you feel it "kick in" and slow you down. Watch out for the first time, it's like somebody hits your brakes! I've been on it for 5 years now and the extended release capsule (160 mg) lasts right at 24 hours on me. Only big side effect I have is short breath sometimes and impotency at first. After a few months my body adjusted, I feel normal. Don't miss a pill though, or you'll feel your heart race and a little anxious. Benefits outweigh risks.

Blood Pressure dropped 10 mmHg with 10 mg dose. It's easy to take and only has positive "side effects". It's calming, which is great for stress and keeps my heart rate down as well.

propranolol for High Blood Pressure: Dropped elevated b/p within 10 days. I had been inactive because of knee surgery and unable to walk every day as before, knee is as good as new and have resumed walking. This med works.

propranolol for Migraine Prevention: I suffered from Migraines with increasing frequency from about 6 years old. When I was about 14 I started to get them four or five times a month. At 15 I had a constant Migraine; I would black out and faint every time I stood up, I couldn't sleep or eat. At points I just wanted to die. It never went away and a long list of pain killers and other medications failed to work. Propranolol stops them almost completely. I still get them every couple of months, but that is not so much of a problem.
