Hi everyone,
Just using this forum as a sounding board/advice line really!
I’ve suffered with daily persistent headaches, migraines & anxiety for around 2 years now. Have been taking 60-80mg propranolol daily for 18 months & have tried pregabalin & gabapentin for the headaches (they didn’t work)
Propranolol helps reduce the migraines & lowers my daily ache enough that I can function...mostly!
The reason for the post is the propranolol has been causing some nasty side effects for about 8 months now which is unusual as I thought my body would of adjusted to the drug by now...it’s mainly chest pain & tightness with shortness of breath, insomnia, trembling, forgetfulness, nausea (occasionally) low mood, irritability & weight gain..,
The neurologist has suggested topiramate to help with the recent side affects I have been having? In an ideal world I wouldn’t take any tablet at all but I’ve tried coming off propranolol & I just couldn’t manage?
Is topiramate the way to go? Any one in a similar boat that can give me a miracle success story? Any advice much appreciated...thanks
