User Reviews for Propranolol

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.

Inderal LA (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: Haven't had a migraine since I started this treatment!

propranolol for Performance Anxiety: I had severe anxiety and had difficulty, in training classes, at work until I started taking this medication. This medication has allowed me to stay calm through the most frustrating situations. It is an amazing treatment.

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.

propranolol for Performance Anxiety: Good for treating panic attacks and anxiety.

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.

Inderal (propranolol) for Performance Anxiety: Started having panic attacks with anxiety about 6 months ago. Started taking Inderal 20 mg - once in the morning. Noticed significant improvement the first day. This drug has been awesome for me! Was also given Xanax at the same time but I only feel I need it occasionally.

Inderal (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: My neurologist had me try many different medications for migraines including Amitriptyline, Topamax and Cymbalta. I was not comfortable with taking medications that are meant to help individuals with seizure disorders and depression. In addition, these medications did not stop the migraines and I experienced many side effects including nausea and decreased appetite. Then I tried Inderal, a low dose medication used to lower blood pressure, paired with B2. My migraines are now fewer and less severe. I still keep Imitrex with me wherever I go to tackle a migraine but I have found that Inderal was the most successful medication that I have tried. Just be sure to take it as recommended. I hope that it helps other migraine sufferers.

propranolol for Performance Anxiety: I was getting shaky hands, shaky voice, etc before and during presentations/high stress events. Even when I had solid material and was well rehearsed, it was like this physical symptom just kicked in and I couldn't control it. And it happened EVERY TIME. It was getting bad, to the point my boss even said something to me about it. When I discussed these anxiety symptoms with Doctor, she prescribed me 20mg and said to take 1/2 tablet to 1 tablet about an hour before event, as needed. Worked very well for me, this is what I needed. I haven't experienced any anxiety symptoms so I can focus on my material.

Inderal (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: This drug changed my life. Before Inderal I had headaches of some degree almost daily. Severe migraines 3-4 times monthly. I have been on a daily dosage of 2 capsules of 160 mg for about 4 years. No more migraines. I never had any side effects. It has truly given me my life back. My doctor started me on a lesser dosage initially, always monitoring blood pressure, any side effects, number/severity of headaches while gradually finding correct dosage that worked for me.

propranolol for Benign Essential Tremor: It improve my life a 100%.

propranolol for Performance Anxiety: I have been suffering from pretty bad anxiety when faced with meeting new people, going to a job interview, going on the streets. Everything from pounding heart, tense body, breath being tight, pressure on the chest, having a feeling of wanting to run away from normal situations. Today I took propranolol for the first time, and so far it seems to have killed this feeling totally. First it felt like it completely emotionally numbed me, but as the hours have gone by (about 4 hours now), its all good now. Still feeling relaxed but a bit lazy.

Inderal LA (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: I was on propranolol for about 18 months and went from approximately 20 migraines a month to five. Unfortunately a side effect I developed was cough-variant asthma. Made several visits to the doctor regarding the cough and his suggested that it might be asthma and put me on a daily inhaler. I did some research as I did not want to take a drug to relieve a condition caused by another drug. The side effect was not listed on my propranolol literature, but I found it as a cause for cough-variant asthma. I had to switch to verapamil, which is not quite as effective for my headaches, but my cough is gone.

Inderal (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: After suffering with migraines 30 years, Inderol gave me a pain-free life! It was the best I've ever felt! However, after several wonderful months, I began to get so dehydrated that it caused intense migraines and E.R. visits for re-hydration. Had to stop taking it because of dehydration side effect. Beware of dehydration while taking this drug.

Inderal (propranolol) for Performance Anxiety: Controls the anxiety but side effect causes erectile dysfunction.

Inderal (propranolol) for Benign Essential Tremor: I had struggled with Benign Essential Tremor for about 7 years (post-trauma), with shaky hands, stuttered speech, etc. For years I was given Valium or Xanax to treat it. In an effort to make a career change, I asked my doctor to find a non-narcotic solution. In short, after seeing a neurologist I was prescribed propranolol and I'm free of almost all symptoms with less side effects and the negative stigma of being prescribed a benzo.

Inderal (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: This medicine has helped my migraines significantly. I had been having 4-5 migraine attacks per week and now am down to 1 or 2 every few weeks. Some weeks I don't have any. A huge relief. I had migraines for years. Missed work, severe pain and this medicine is a huge relief. I do feel tired and sluggish and may be related to this medicine but I don't know for sure. I will take that side effect over the pain of a migraine any day.

propranolol for Migraine Prevention: I've had migraines since I was 6 and have been on Topamax, blood thinners, blood pressure medications and everything in the books. I switched doctors and he put me on propanolol and I haven't had a migraine since. However, I still get these headaches that just sit in my head and make me foggy, but no nausea or auras like a migraine. I've noticed my dreams are much more vivid and its harder for me to wake up, like there's a heaviness about it, but that's not a big deal. Unlike other medicines, I have not had any change in weight or appetite, but if I take it on an empty stomach, my mouth tastes like the capsule. Great alternative to harsher medicines.

Inderal (propranolol) for Benign Essential Tremor: It worked great in the beginning, but within a few months lost its effectiveness, and I needed more and more to get the same effect. I also felt like I was addicted to it. It was the first thing I went for in the morning.

Inderal (propranolol) for Performance Anxiety: I have had anxiety a lot since high school and it has gotten worse in college. I have taken many different medicines for anxiety and this is by far the best fit for me. I didn't like how I had to take the other medicines everyday whether or not I felt anxious- this one was great for me because my doctor told me I could take it whenever I felt a little more anxiety than normal. I will take it in the morning if I wake up anxious and I have never had an anxiety attack or feelings of being anxious yet. I would highly suggest talking to your doctor about this medicine if anxiety is the issue.

Inderal (propranolol) for Performance Anxiety: I have struggled with public speaking my entire life. This is truly a miracle medicine for me. I like the fact that I do not have to take it everyday...only for specific events which are typically scheduled in advance. I would still prefer no medication but have been very happy with the results from Inderal.

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.

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.

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 (propranolol) for Migraine Prevention: I had a very nasty side-effect of intense nightmares with Inderal
