Hi
As some of you might know i suffer with HA ------starting last October when i found a swelling in neck and thought i had lymphoma:mad: Anyhow,I have had all the tests and everything came back clear!!!!
Three GPs say they cant feel anything(despite the fact that i think i can LOL!!!) and as most of you know i have had lots of other tests!!I am now waiting CBT!!!Anyhow, my GP has changed my migraine medication(currently on PIZOTIFEN--WHICH when i read the side effects anxiety is one:ohmy: )over to A BETA BLOCKER called PROPRANALOL.
I have collected these today ---but i do still have 2 weeks of pizotifen to take but up to me whether i take them or not!!!I can just change over tomorrow if i want!!!
I am totally panicking about changing over!!!My doc thinks they will "kill 2 birds with one stone" sooo to speak as he says they will help with my anxiety as well as the migraines.
Can anyone shed some light on these tablets??
I have had a chat with the pharmacy and she thinks they will suit me much better than the pizotifen and she highly recommends them----but me being the HA freak that i am think that they may have some terrible side effects!!!!!!
They are 80mg SLOW RELEASE that i have been prescribed.When i read the side effects i nearly fell off my chair---there are loads!!!!!!
