For High Blood Pressure "I have taken Inderal and Inderal LA for the past 30 years with very few side effects. It helps both my arrhythmia and my high blood pressure. I felt slightly weaker and more tired in the beginning, but now I just feel normal. I have been able to live a relatively normal life and have always been able to do whatever physical activity I needed to do."

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 Migraine Prevention "Inderal has definitely helped with my migraine prevention. I started getting migraines when I was 13. Now, in my late 20s, I am finally migraine-free besides the odd one I get due to hormones or when really stressed out! I reduced to taking 40 mg in the morning rather than 40 mg morning and night and have found the migraines still stay away. The only side effects I've had were nightmares initially, that soon went away after a couple of months. I get very cold hands and feet, sometimes in warm weather, my feet are still cold! I also feel slightly more tired/sleepy, but it's worth it compared to the regular migraines I was experiencing beforehand."

For Migraine Prevention "I was prescribed Inderal around 7-8 years ago due to a persistent migraine aura following an allergic reaction treated with steroids. Recently, I was guided by a medical professional to wean off it about three months ago. In hindsight, I regret starting the medication in the first place. I believe that taking Inderal triggered asthma symptoms that have worsened over the years, which my healthcare provider didn't realize was not suitable for someone with asthma. Additionally, it disrupted my sleep and caused insomnia, leading me to take medication for years. I became weak, tired, and short of breath while running, which was a favorite activity of mine, and I eventually had to stop running altogether. Now, after being off Inderal, I have developed hypertension that has persisted for three months despite not having a history of it in my family. I believe this medication should not be prescribed for migraines or anxiety due to the long-term effects I've experienced."
