I was prescribed 10 mg Propranolol for my headaches yesterday. I have to take them for 2 weeks then?

I have been in the same boat as you! I have been told to take propranolol 80mg a day (much lower than your dosage) after months and months of horrendous pain in my head and migrains. I was terrified to take them as side effects were awful and im a thin person and cant bear weight gain etc... however... seriously... take the pills. They are the best thing that could have happened to me! Ive been on them for 7 days and had 5 days with no pain! I felt a bit weird when first taking them but honestly they cured me and im nly 1 week in. As for weight gain, if you think you will put on weight you will, just keep a positive mental attitude and keep active. I called my doctor today for advice on exercise on them and I told him I used to run 5 miles a day and havent for 6 months due to pain, and want to get back to it, he told me fine, go run, exercise, enjoy life! I never answer on these forums but always use them for advice and felt I had to respond to you because my experience has been phenomenal. I have been getting a tight chest and when I freaked out and asked the doctor he said if you dont have asthma already its fine, it turns out, its anxiety and a lot of it is manifested from me worrying about getting a tight chest. Same with the sleeping, they say you may have issues sleeping, but if you think you will then it will happen. Im forcing myself to take the tablet and forget about the rest, Im sounding so cheerful because like you ive had headaches for so long, and when they go away its like the world switched its lights back on. Hope this helped a bit Oh yeah, you WILL NOT gain loads of weight in 2 weeks! Im on 80mg a day and after 1 week ive actually lost weight! Dont worry about it, Im on mine for the foreseeable future, 2 weeks is a walk in the park. You will feel fine.
