[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 221848, member: 42264"] I take immediate release propranolol for migraine prevention, I started at 60mg BID, but increase to 1.5 tabs (90mg) BID. I sort of also get a benefit of BP control, as mine is not high, but not perfect either. I tried the extended release for a few days and did not like how I felt. It also "wore off" before my next dose, leaving me with high pressure. Granted, I did not give it enough time to reach a steady state, but preferred the immediate release. My initial experience has been mixed. It definitely controls headaches. It probably also reduces anxiety. However, it makes me fatigued and a bit depressed. Initially, the fatigue and depression were significant. Now, both are moderately improved, but I am hoping for complete resolution of symptoms. It also gives me funky dreams. I can't speak a whole lot about "on demand", or PRN, usage, but I would be careful. It is possibly you give yourself rebound tachycardia if you take a beta blocker intermittently, but not consistently. If you are already on a BP med, I would recommend that you coordinate taking propranolol with your PCP. [/QUOTE]
