Question 1

prescribed inderal (propranolol) for anxiety related pvc's/adrenaline rushes/panic.scared the inderal (propranolol) will harm my heart after researching side effects online.help.

Accepted Answer

Side effects: Pleased to see that you actively learn about your prescribed medications. If it has not happened already, these concerns are worth a conversation with your provider to clarify why this medication was selected for you, how potential risks and side effects are monitored, and what is the risk to you based on your health history. Overall inderal (propranolol) has a low risk of cardiovascular complications.

Question 2

i'm on 20mg of propalanol (inderal (propranolol) ) is that a lot? and what could happen of i stop? i'm on it for anxiety.

Accepted Answer

low dose: You are taking a low dose of Propranolol at 20mg. If it is effective in improving anxiety for you, stopping it may cause your anxiety level to increase again. I doubt any cardiovascular effects considering your age, diagnoses and dose.

Question 3

i took wellbutrin for 2days 1xa day 150mg its making worse how long till out of system and can try something else want to try inderal .

Accepted Answer

3-5 days: If you were only taking wellbutrin for 2 days just to be safe I'd wait 3-5 days  before starting inderal under your PCP direction naturally,  but usually 2 days of a med like wellbutrin would have minimal adverse effects if any stopping it abruptly as you have done.
having said that any med changes should be closely monitored by you primary care provider.

Question 4

my doctor just completely abruptly stop all my medication klonopin inderal (propranolol) and reemron what do i do ?

Accepted Answer

See a new doctor: Abruptly stopping all of your medication is not only going to be unhelpful, but sounds retaliatory. Did he explain to you why he did not give you something to replace it? Stopping Inderal (propranolol) suddenly can lead to rebound hypertension. Stopping clonopin can do the same and also lead to seizures and delirium not to extreme rebound anxiety. It is absolutely contraindicated. Stopping Remeron will make it very difficultfor you to sleep and if you were relying on it as an antidepressant can bring your mood crashing down. If you have a family practitioner i would recommend contact the family practitioner as soon as possible and ask to be slowly tapered off these medications and thatthe family practitioner take over your care until you can find a psychiatrist who will not do something like this to you.If things get really bad please don't hesitate to go to the emergency room or to the hospital. If it were me however i would not go back to see that psychiatrist again.

Question 5

other than inderal (propranolol) what is a migraine preventative for intractable migraine?  having trouble finding one to try.

Accepted Answer

Beta blockers: you can try Atenolol or Metoprolol -- please discuss with your doctor about this meds

Question 6

when i start inderal 10mg twice day(migraine prevention) can i stop taking it if my bp gets too low as i usually have bp 110/76?

Accepted Answer

Yes: the dose is low and in the majority of cases should not lower your bp to any significant degree.  should not be a problem stopping it, but you must notify your doctor. if you are dizzy and bp is less than 100 after taking inderal- i would stop it and let your MD know.

Question 7

do side effects of inderal (propranolol) persist even after you stop the medication - such as short term memory loss?

Accepted Answer

Memory loss: Inderal (propranolol) is a beta-blocker with many side effect problems.  The symptoms such as memory loss, fatique, depression should improve within a week or two after stopping the drug.  If not, see your doctor, as other problems may have occurred.

Question 8

i m 45 yrs  n i took inderal (propranolol) 5mg and tapper the doses to stop treatment but i got shakky and skip beat what should i do? my treatment by cardiologist

Accepted Answer

Inderal (propranolol): Inderal (propranolol) 5mg is a very low dose. Did the cardiologist advise you to stop the inderal (propranolol)?  You should ask your treating physician(s) what they advise. Without knowing more than is in your question, its hard to advise you but 5mg of Inderal (propranolol) wouldn't be a problem for most people.

Question 9

i am having a bronchial infection , & i am having inderal (propranolol) 20 mg  per day , should i stop it of i am having a chest cold?

Accepted Answer

Don't stop: It's never a good idea to stop any prescribed medication without talking to your doctor first.  Inderal (propranolol) should not affect a cold.  If you stop it, your blood pressure may increase significantly and could cause other problems.

Question 10

wolff parkinson white syndrome... i am on propranolol which i take 2-3 times a day. should i just try inderal la extended release or should i not?

Accepted Answer

Do what your: Doctor says. The extended-release is little more expensive but is still generic and your insurance if you have it will cover it at a generic cost. The clinical issue is whether your cardiologist wants  to take it in the extended release form or the immediate release form and that should be discussed with him or her personally. Best wishes.
