I have been taking Methimazole for exactly 1 week. I am 26. This is the second time to take these same drugs. Methimazole along with a beta-blocker, Propranolol. My thyroid had been back to normal for 2 years. This time, I started off taking one three times daily, then just one a day, now I was instructed that I should take three once daily. My tests just came back and I am extremely thyrotoxic and have Grave's Disease. I have had headaches on and off this week, today I have had a headache most of the day. My heart is still palpitating but my strength is coming back. Last week before starting the drugs was much worse. I could barely move my body hurt so bad, felt like I had a fever, fatigue...the works

I've been on 300 mg's of Lamcital since last December. Great drug, really helps my mania get under control. Lithium wasn't cutting it for me with my depression, in fact the side effects were making me even more depressed. My pdoc decided to try out Geodon (at 100 mg's). In the most part, it has been great. I feel alive and like myself again for the first time in years. But...
I wonder if making me so stable has also given my mind way to much time to over- analyze what I see and do. I see things out of the corner of my eye all of the time. I had something appear right in front of me the other day. I can no longer sleep past seven in the morning. And I have three facial twitches: my lower lip, the arc in my left eyebrow and the very top of my forehead where the first of my hair follicles start on my widow's peak. Those drive me nuts.
I am also on 40 mg's of Propranolol (Anderall) and Cytomel for my thyroid. For having such a severe case of BP, it's nice to be on so few medications. Geodon has been a lifesaver and has given me back my creativity and my marriage. I'll take seeing things and facial twitches any day for those.

I've been on Topamax for over a year for hormonal migraines, and it's working great for the headaches. I started out at 25mg twice a day and now I'm up to 100mg twice a day. I've lost 40lb (mostly due to the drug -- but my appetite is starting to come back) and have just recently started experiencing the anxiety and tingling in the extremities. I've always felt I've had trouble concentrating and "finding the word", but I attributed it to lack of sleep because I have two small children. My most recent side effect, however, is most worrisome, which is the reason for my visit to this website. I am experiencing severe abdominal pain, almost constant, and it seems to be increasing. I had abdominal pain and diarrhea when I first started Topamax last year, but it stopped after the first month or so. I'm just wondering if maybe long term use can cause ulcers or other stomach problems. Anyone have any experience with this? I know from experience that Topamax dosages have to gradually weaned up and down, so I'm considering decreasing my dosage to see if my stomach problems will stop. I'm just in so much pain, yet my migraines have almost stopped now with 200mg a day, that I'm reluctant to change my dose.

My question is: Does anyone knows if Propranolol is a good substitute for Toprol-XL?
I read that there isn't any weight gain reported with Propranolol.
I'd love to hear your experiences with it.

I talked to my Dr. yesterday after reading the side affects on this site. I told her "It's like I was reading about myself." She put me on a beta-blocker (Propranolol) last week to try to control the major heart palpatations. She agreed that we should try dropping the Lisinoprol and as of today I'm off it. Unfortunately, I've felt like absolute crud all day and my BP is up. I'm watching it. Hopefully these problems will go away. I'll post updates.

I was on propranolol for 3 years for mitral valve prolapse and hbp. When I developed symptoms of hypothyroidism I finally convinced the dr. to take me off it and I was put on 20 mg of lisinopril. My thyroid function went to normal range after one year but after 2 years the symptoms are returning. Has anyone seen a connection with this medication and thyroid function. I'm having twitches, cramps, indigestion, some lightheadedness, cold feet, tingling in hands, increased ringing in the ears.

I've been on Geodon for two days now, and from the very first pill (40mg) I've taken I noticed a side effect that is extremely bothersome; I've looked it up on the internet and found out it is "akathisia" or "restless legs." I just couldn't keep still, yet I was also so tired I didn't have the energy to even fidget like they (my legs) seemed to need me to do. So I was awake all night and day, unable to concentrate, and my anxiety level went up. I've been prescribed Propranolol to counter that side effect, but who knows if it'll help. If it doesn't, I'm not taking the Geodon anymore, BPD/OCD/PTSD or not.

After 3 months of the lupron, I decided to stop taking it. Within the first week of the first shot, I was having side effect. I have never been physically or mentally violent. I was blowing up at my boyfriend. I couldn't control my anger, and I didn't care. It got so bad that my boyfriend was considering moving out. So I went to my family doctor and he put me on zoloft, clonazepam, and propranolol for the mood swings, hot flashes, and temper. Also I wouldn't sleep through the night without waking up due to hot flashes. I haven't taken the shot in two months and the pain is coming back. I had no sex drive while I was on the shot and still really don't. I'm not really sure what to do next. The shot does relieve the pain, but the side effects are just overwhelming.
