Title: Medication that works
Post by ABarham on Aug 22^nd, 2007, 3:55pm

Hi everyone. Sorry I have been absent, but just haven't had opportunity to get online. Also, Adam has been in Florida since February. He is due home in October. BUT---- he saw a doctor in Tampa, she gave him meds that so far have WORKED!!!! It took a couple of weeks to get in his system, but he has gone from 3 - 5 per day to NONE. He said that if he misses a dose he will get hit. The med is PROPRANOLOL 10 mgs 2 times per day.

Thought it was worth sharing.

Propranolol is an old drug that is mainly used for blood pressure. Glad to hear that it's helping Adam and I hope it continues with great success!

Thanks for sharing !

That was the first of many meds i tried. Unfortunatly it didn't work for me. I am glad to hear that it has helped Adam! I hope and pray that he stay pain free for as long as possible.

Yet another migraine drug that's working for CHers!

They had me on it in the 90s - didn't help. Very happy to hear it's working for you!!!
