I've had migraine headaches since I was about 12 or so. Only recently started getting treatment for them. Propanolol is a godsend-- I take 40 mg a day and so far haven't had a bad migraine attack since taking it. I highly recommend asking your doctor about trying it if you get as many migraines as I was getting this summer. It's simply no way to live. I'm also on Sumatriptan as a pain killer to be taken at the onset (aura phase) of a migraine-- the only problem is that my insurance only covers 9 pills every 30 days, or they're like $250 for that quantity...so I need to ration them. :/ I'm currently out until I can get a refill on September 19th. The American medical system is so money-hungry and just...sick. I hope that the Propanolol keeps working for me in the meantime.
