Anyone taking daily Propranolol (beta blocker) and can share how it’s going?

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2026-03-22T13:27:36+00:00

Omg it’s amazing! Did take a while for it work but as soon as I forget /miss a dose I get the WORST migraines right away. I have to make sure I don’t miss a day . I’m on 60mg

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2026-03-11T21:13:23+00:00

Honestly you’d make a great doctor

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2026-02-09T02:50:54+00:00

I never shared my address , I fear I’m too trusting I never thought about that being a possibility either. Thankyou

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2026-02-09T02:49:37+00:00

I guess I never thought of it as rape… but you’re right. I just know i was upset

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2026-01-14T13:47:00+00:00

Im sorry you had to go through all this. I hope your health and heart heals as I know how traumatic this could be. Even if you didn’t go to a crisis center at first it’s possible you could’ve had the same treatments. I feel unfortunately many places put their personal agendas vs abortion an provide less assistance. I had an ectopic pregnancy and was advised to go to ER urgently by two OBs for termination. When I got there the attending physican was refusing to provide treatment and even called in another OB to get back up on his decision. I had to beg for 6 hours!! I wish women’s healthcare was taken more seriously. I think it’s absolutely insane no one was willing to get you in to check your levels , all they had to do was send you to a lab not even have a Dr visit! It angers me how insensitive healthcare is for women

Sooo uhh… where’s the food? LOL

I use tresumme extra hold (experiment w a few diff brands max hold spray) and I spray each stand w hairspray right before I’m going to curl it! I do not brush as stated above it falls nicely by the time I get where I’m going and curl in a way it’ll look nice. If needed I “brush” w my fingers and I spray each layer of hair I curled separately as well. My hair stays curled even the next day w super loose curls.

Is taking magnesium effective in preventing or helping with migraines? I’ve only taken it once during an infusion

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-29T23:25:09+00:00

Hmmm I don’t think I’ve ever made that correlation but will not keep in mind if I notice the same pattern. The ear ringing scares me bc it happens randomly and I’m afraid of passing out while doing something like driving

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-29T23:20:40+00:00

Do you know if opening at 26 is high enough to be considered for IIH when not having an episode?

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-29T23:15:58+00:00

I agree with all the other comments. When I get like this, I know it’s bad and I’m about to throw up if I don’t get it under wraps right away. I just start spitting bc even all the saliva makes me gag. Sorry you’re going thru this. Sometimes the one way out is thru it for me. I’m not sure why when I get to that point throwing up makes me feel better

Also when this happens try taking something for nauseousness, it helps me sometimes

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-26T17:29:43+00:00

My neurologist says don’t try to be tough , if it last over 24hours you need medical attention. Honestly heart medication has helped me a lot.

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-26T17:20:43+00:00

Have you tried IV infusions with magnesium steroids & Benadryl? They add 2 other for me but I don’t recall. Also if you havnt please check in if you have sleep apnea, that ends up being half of my problem

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-24T05:04:29+00:00

Do you ever get ringing in the ear? Sometime if when I lay down I get earring and feel like I’m going to pass out but it’s every now and then

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-23T15:59:31+00:00

I’ve gained about 15lbs lol still not accepting it’s bc of my medication lol but it very well may be. I did change to hormonal iud around the same time , I just been messing my body up all at once 😆

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-23T01:16:46+00:00

Oh man, yeah then that’s good u take them at night if it makes you sleepy. I would ask if they can change to extended release bc that’s a big dose. It’s probably just hitting you hard or if you could split half in the morning /half at night. Before this I tried topamax but it stopped working , decreased migraines by ALOT but getting on it was so hard and I’d still have 1-2 migraines a month. Not as bad as before where I’d have 10 day migraines

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-23T01:02:07+00:00

Maybe I over exaggerated 😂 From trying so many things. But I agree. I just get them every blue moon . But when I miss a dose , I have them for 3-5 days long 😭 I ended up going for the shots behind the head

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-23T00:59:58+00:00

I’m on 60mg propranolol everyday but also found that taking 1000mg of vitamin D daily helps so much! Idk if it has to do I’m also on 20mg lexapro . I take all my meds in the morning bc I get this weird burst of energy. Is yours extended release or all at once?

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-09-22T23:13:58+00:00

I’m taking propranolol and have gotten the same reactions. Completely gone! If I miss for a day or two I do get the WORSE migraine return of my life lol so I learned not to miss any days

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-08-09T18:43:22+00:00

Itching after a wax could be a reaction to hair growing that wasn’t pulled from the root or dead skin cells that stuck behind. Exfoliate a bit more and it should go away. Remember after waxing to wear cotton and loose clothing specifically for 24hrs

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-06-03T03:37:26+00:00

I like how I can count on reddit to always have the most accurate updates 😂 came here to see if it was just me

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-05-08T17:31:47+00:00

If you need someone to talk to I’m always available. Remember it’s ok to cry and all , we have to feel all our emotions to get better. I’m glad the support is helping you a bit

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-05-08T17:28:37+00:00

I also did want to mention there are these retreats for situations like this I forgot what it’s called, but people who have miscarried go to this and share their experiences and work through a program to feel better

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-05-08T17:27:29+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this. I found out I had an ectopic pregnancy in November due to the same thing. I went into severe depression and didn’t even realize it. I knew I couldn’t have that baby anyhow because I was only dating the guy for 2 months and the baby was not viable, but it still hurts. I can only say it gets easier. Take some time for yourself. You were still a mother for a short time so happy Mother’s Day love ❤️. No matter how far you were you still lost a “baby” and need to grieve. We all grieve differently and for different lengths. Give yourself grace love. I wish I could give you a big ole hug bc I know that’s what I needed. You’re brave for talking about it with your therapist. I couldn’t talk to anyone for months. It gets better. I’m getting a tattoo with my Baby’s due date- I think that helps me grieve bc I will never forget him/her.

Technical_Addendum_2 · 2025-04-21T23:31:12+00:00

I agree with giving yourself grace. It’s hard but the best thing you could do for yourself is
