Migraine Prevention
"I started taking propranolol after trying anti-seizure drugs that didn&#039;t work at all. I used immitrex for a couple of years and it was wonderful, but got less and less effective. I started with 80 mg propranolol extended release. I could tell it made a difference in the severity, but didn&#039;t completely control the migraines. I have been on 160 mg a day, once in the morning, once in the evening. Now I rarely get migraines, and very manageable when I do. Different things work for different people.This really works well for me. I had some weight gain, but I attribute it to getting my appetite back. No migraines, no nausea. Haven&#039;t gained enough to remotely think about stopping. Had weird and vivid dreams to start with, but that has stopped."
