A member asked:
What to if i am on the drug propanalol for migraines - does this drug make you put weight on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effects: Propanalol (inderal) is an older beta blocker, and is less specific in it's binding than newer , selective beta blockers. Therefore, patients can feel tired, fatigued, and depressed while taking this drug. A decreased activity level may be related to weight gain.
