Global Patient Feedback for Betacap-TR (Propranolol)
Please see our forum guidelines.
This med stopped mi migraines and lowered my blood pressure with what I thought were no side effects at all. I have been on it for 15 years. but one weekend I went away and forgot to take the tablets, the rebound was so bad I thought I was going to die. Saw emergency doctor and with substitute propanalol the pounding in my head and the feeling of imminent doom subsided. Now I fear to go anywhere without these things in my pocket.

I have severe migraine headaches and high blood pressure. I was given Propanentol for the blood pressure which worked very well and migraines are very few now it has been a miracle for me.

I was taking the Inderal for tremors, helped some, but my blood pressure went really high. Taken off the Inderal, shaking again, maybe more than before. Was taking 120mg, back on toporal, don't know what to do.
