Nadolol for Migraine Prevention "Now 42, I took Corgard for migraines when I was a very healthy and active 14-year-old. It did not help with migraines, but did leave me with lifelong low blood pressure and heart palpitations. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone. It has impacted my ability to do anything that gets my heart rate up significantly. I am, and always have been, very physically active and in shape. So my lifelong issues from taking this medication do not come from lifestyle choices."

For Migraine Prevention "I have been taking nadolol for a period of 4 months for my migraines. I have definitely improved from 2 migraines a week to 1 a month. My heartbeat is at 48, but it’s not causing me any problems. I have just started to get a rash down my back, which I believe has come on from this drug, but my doctor is saying no worries! We will see."

Nadolol for Supraventricular Tachycardia "Corgard is a life-saving medication for me. A few years ago, I had to visit the ER, my heart was beating 200 bpm, and my blood pressure was 200/125. They did an EKG and gave me a heavy dose, 100 mg of Corgard, and within 5 minutes, everything was normal."

For Migraine Prevention "I have been getting migraines for 40 years and have tried all sorts of preventative measures and went back on Nadolol about 2 years ago. I have them less frequently but still get about 3 a month, which I use Rizatriptan for, sometimes successfully, other times, not so successfully. I take one Nadolol in the evening as I don't like the feeling of lightheadedness. I don't appear to have any other side effects."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "I’ve been on Nadolol since 2010. I have CPVT. I was originally on 120 mg per day, and that did make me tired. In 2014, I had the LCSD procedure, and the doctor added Flecainide and reduced Nadolol to 20 mg per day. I started getting horrible leg cramps at night and learned that it was because of the reduction in Nadolol dose. The doctor had me bump it up to 40 mg per day, and my leg cramps went away. I do not seem to have any side effects from Nadolol or Flecainide."

For High Blood Pressure "If you want to suffer 24/7 with chest pain, and it will cause a heart attack if you stop taking it suddenly. My BP while on this med was 183/110. It took a year to get off this med without killing me, and now my BP is 142/80. This medication will feel like it will kill you, but you will suffer first!!! I was pooping blood from this medication!!!"

For Benign Essential Tremor "I use this medication only as required and find it totally effective. Sometimes the tremors are random, but more often they are triggered by mild anxiety or stress."
