"I've been taking propranolol for migraines for 30 years. Started with 80 mg LA, then 60 mg LA, but at 50 y.o. titrated down to 10 mg. Higher doses made me tired. It lowers my blood pressure and pulse rate, keeps me calm, good for anxiety. The only thing I noticed around year 15 is it has affected my breathing and lungs. Feel out of breath a lot - otherwise I would give it a 10."

"From the first dose, it eliminated my severe cluster headaches. Been on it for 20 years now (120 mg extended release) and I haven’t had a single recurrence of migraines. Truly a life saver."

"Been on 10 to 20mg of propranolol for over 25 years for irregular heartbeat, but the other benefit was my migraines stopped almost completely. I have had to adjust dosage to 40mg now, but this medication was a life changer for me. If I take it too late at night, sometimes I have crazy dreams, but other than that no other side effects."
