I have been using Inderal for the past eleven years as a migraine preventative. Before starting this med, I had horrible migraines 5-7 times a week. I have 2 or 3 per year now. There have been some negative side effects. I suffer daily with insomnia and now take a prescription sleep med to sleep at night. When I missed a dose, I had heart palpitations.

There have been some negative side effects. I suffer daily with insomnia and now take a prescription sleep med to sleep at night. When I missed a dose, I had heart palpitations. The nurse at my doctor's office said this is a normal reaction.

I am on 80mg, and it has wiped out my almost daily migraines. I've been on it since June of this year (2010), and just recently noticed I am more fatigued, have low endurance, and my feet are numb and tingly at night. I have MVP and tachycardia, and have noticed relief from that, but the side effects are a bit bothersome. Not sure if I will be on this long term.

I began taking Inderal LA 60mg about 5 years ago. During the first year I got 2 migraine headaches (I had averaged about 5 per month). They increased the second year but not significantly. I stopped taking Inderal in Oct 2008 because of being tired too often, difficulty sleeping,dizzyness while working out at the gym,cold feet and hands due to circulation problems with Inderal,difficulty swallowing,memory loss and who knows what else Inderal affects. I also felt as if my feet are shrinking because my shoes and sneaks seem like they are a size too small. The headaches came back more frequently and other medicines were prescribed(anti-depressants, smaller but multiple doses of Inderal) but nothing worked. I went back to the LA 60mg in Jan 2009 and the frequency of headaches was reduced significantly. Now I am again considering going off Inderal due to the side effects cited earlier. I have already started not taking my Inderal capsule on alternate days. I am sleeping like a baby at night and am no longer tired during the day. I have no heart problems so I suppose I could stop Inderal cold turkey but the warnings about doing so make me somewhat hesitant. My migraines did not start until I was in my 50's and I am currently 73. Do they ever stop naturally without medication? There are so many triggers associated with migraines and any kind of headache that it becomes a frustrating experience trying to figure out what to avoid and in what amounts. When all else fails and the headache arrives, thank God for whoever discovered ZOMIG.

I have been taking Inderal La capsules for over 30 years and I have not had a migraine since. The cardiologist increased the doseage because of blood pressure over the years. This medication has been a god send.
