Lady - Inderal (propranolol) is a heart medication called a beta-blocker. Low doses (10mg - 20mg) a day help some people with migraines. Nothing work for my mother-in-law and she was having month-long migraines. She now takes 20mg of propranolol a day and has only one or two short (relatively) migraines a month. The dose to decrease blood pressure is usually 80mg to 160mg per day (or higher).

This therapy is not for everyone, but it is relatively safe in the long run. BTW, 20mg - 30mg of propranolol are used by people who are very nervous public speakers; it calms them down. I never had the nerve to try it, and if I'm not nervous before a presentation, the whole evening flops.

Just a little more info. I can find studies if your doc wants. - Cam
