Took 40 mg at start of migraine, later had to up itto 80 mg. Took it with 2 ibuprofen and would work to stop it over half the time. If took it to late would lessen the pounding pain. i was young and had strong heart. My mom got fatigued on it and took it before bed for her high BP. I had to stop it when i got older and the propranolol aggravated acid reflux.

My daughter took this for frequent severe migraines. She started at 10mg twice a day and never increased the dose. It was a miracle for her migraines, but about a week after starting it she experienced fatigue, extreme fogginess, and felt "outside herself" several times a day, so we are trying something else. Definitely worth a try though. The side effects stopped within four days of dis ... Show Full Comment

This medication was a life saver for my migraines. I was getting them at least 4 days a week and even waking me up suddenly in the middle of the night and some would last for several days. I would be bed ridden with debilitating pain, vomiting, nausea and extreme sensitivity to light, sound, and just to rotate in bed.

This medication was a life saver for my migraines. I was getting them at least 4 days a week and even waking me up suddenly in the middle of the night and some would last for several days. I would be bed ridden with debilitating pain, vomiting, nausea and extreme sensitivity to light, sound, and just to rotate in bed. I had been prescribed several other medications to prevent them, but nothing seemed to work. I finally was prescribed this, and found incredible relief. Now I only get them a couple times a month. And, when I feel the first sign of one coming, all I need to take is some Ibuprofen and 90% of the time it catches it and keeps it away in between doses. As for blood pressure differences, my natural resting is lower, about 90/65, and it hasn't altered much since taking these meds. When I first started taking it, it would make me a bit dizzy. This went away after taking it for a couple weeks.

Totally stopped migraines I suffered with for over 40 years. 80 mg extended release once per day with no detectable adverse side effects. I already had low blood pressure 113/67 and it didn't change. If I even get a headache I can take some tylenol or aspirin and know it will not turn into a migraine. Peace of mind changed everything and took this monkey off my back.
