i started taking 40 mg of propranolol 6 days ago for migraines. I have been dizzy, lightheaded, energy less and nauseous. Is this common? Should I expect this to pass? I am supposed to double my dose today but I'm not going to. Thank you for your feedback

Is it slow release or fast acting?
How soon after taking it do you start to get these symptoms?

What does it say on the box???
Does it say...... SR what's the name on the box or packet.
If it's slow release you shouldn't be able to cut it in half.
Slow release are usually in capsule form

She said the yellow tablets are fast release and 40mg is a high dose to start you off on.
She said you'd be better to take Bedranol 80 mg slow release tablets.
I can't even tolerate 10mg fast release but 80mg slow release were better for me.
Yes dizziness lethargy and lack of motivation side effect if your tablet
Hope this helps

You need to ask your doctor for slow release (modified release) propranolol.
It's a much smoother way of delivering the medication to you.
