For Benign Essential Tremor "I have had good luck with this medicine, but as I age, it appears to be less effective. Or it may be that my tremors are getting worse and the dosage needs to be increased. I have tried an increase in the medication and have become very sluggish. All in all, it is working rather well, and the cost is low."

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. I missed work, severe pain, and this medicine is a huge relief. I do feel tired and sluggish, and it 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."

For Benign Essential Tremor "March 22, 2017 - I took Inderal from October to December 2016 for hand tremors (never helped). I was prescribed 40 mg, but one month later, I complained of side effects and was prescribed 10 mg. While I was on it, I experienced major fatigue (especially with the higher dosage), I was constantly freezing, I just was not myself. I don't know when the short-term memory loss started, but it is horrible, and while taking Inderal on the lower dosage, I experienced an episode of what I think was acute psychosis. I read that acute psychosis and short-term memory loss could be temporary or forever. I'm very scared. I want my memory back, and I'm afraid for my life and others' lives."

For Migraine Prevention "I'm a 61-year-old man. I took Inderal LA 60 mg for a year. For about 8 months, it worked well, migraines would start and then go away after 5 to 10 minutes. It caused me to gain 15 pounds even with dieting and exercise. It also causes ED, but I was able to fix that with 5 mg Cialis. In the last 2 months, it has stopped preventing the migraines and causes problems with fatigue and, at times, shortness of breath, and the Cialis is no longer working (a big problem as far as I am concerned and my girlfriend too). It never stopped migraines caused by food triggers, of which I have many."

For Migraine Prevention "It's helping me a lot, no more headaches. Even my stress and anxiety are numbed. I always wondered what drug people were on who always seemed to remain unnaturally calm, and now I know! I think it makes you more fatigued though and causes nightmares, which the antihistamine I'm taking already does, so together they cause severe nightmares, but the good effects outweigh the bad effects for me."
