Propranolol
migraine prevention
"I have had bad headaches for years, and I have taken Maxalt for many years to alleviate.  My headaches became worse and daily.  I was taking the Maxalt quite often (breaking the pills in half).  I read about the overuse rebound headaches and went back to Dr.  When I told him that the Maxalt worked well and very quickly for me, he looked at me and said "you are having vascular headaches".  He prescribed the Propranolol and my life changed in about a week.  I can actually say, I no longer even know how often I have a headache, it is hardly ever now.  I just regret that he did not put me on this 20 years ago.  He said his mother used it, so apparently it has been around for quite awhile."
