Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 I have only tried Inderal (Propranolol). I found it very effective, but after a few months of taking them the effectiveness seemed diminished somewhat. I tried them both on a steady dose, and pulse doses for certain days. They are still quite effective but with a higher dose than when I first started. I only use them occasionally now. They do seem effective for the neural type of flushing/blushing from stress or slight embarrassment. They seemed to help me with flushing from heat also, to some degree. I don't know if that would be true for everyone though. I would like to try Clonidine next. I showed my derm the page in Dr. Nase's book about it and she agreed. Just haven't asked her to write the prescription yet. Don't know about the cost, my insurance has paid for them. > any one having tremendous results from taking a betablocker {that reduce adrenaline} > and does anyone find it makes no difference? > how much does it cost? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2001 Report Share Posted June 30, 2001 How can you just take inderal some of the time? I have been taking it for 4 or 5 months now mainly for my headaches which I don't get anymore. I ran out of inderal close to a weekend one time and couldn't get it refilled for 4 days because my doctor wasn't in on monday. By the time I got it filled I was getting so dizzy from not having it and one of the worst headaches ever where I felt sick to my stomach. It still seems to be working well enough for me after 5 months. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2001 Report Share Posted July 1, 2001 I experienced dizziness mainly because I was getting a migraine headache withdrawal. I don't know if others would experience the same thing I did because I have a problem with migraine headaches and that's why i'm taking it in the first place I don't get headaches hardly ever anymore.
