i suffer from recurrent migranes.  the medicine that dr.'s prescribe all will put you to sleep.  what i try to do is catch the warning signs.  slight headache, blurred vision, flashing lights in eyes, or dizzy.  and take a bc powder and 2 advil or 2 aleve.  some times it helps but not always.  if not get a cold towel lay in a cold quiet room, pray and try to sleep it off sometimes it takes a few days.  just try to watch what you eat, stay out of the sun.  and just try to see what may be causing them.  oh yaeh also try not to stress.  i hope i helped!

It depends on the dosage you're on.  I take one in the morning and one at night.  Spreading them out through the day takes away the intensity of the fatigued feeling

I have seen this make a person's heart rate drop close to a fatal ending at where I work.. Please stop taking it and tell your doctor and demand something else in its place..

Atenolol is a beta-blocker.  I was prescribed that med for a heart murmur I had.  You shouldn't just "stop" taking a heart medication.  It needs to be weaned from the system, or can cause withdrawl pains (headaches, cramps, etc).  If I were you, I would take my concerns to a heart specialist and have them do an ECG.  And when you said your heart was beating "somehow" could be relavent if they heard a murmur, fluttering, or swishing noise.  Always take your concerns to a doctor, and if you don't feel like your being heard, try another one.  It took three doctors to finally figure out that I had a heart murmur.  Good luck!

Propranolol is not an addictive medication. Its safety for taking depends on your sensitivity to the medication. If you have any doubts you need to contact your doctor immediatly.

Yeah, my NP gave me phentermine.  This one should not be taken at night and I had to keep the dose really low, because it had a tendency to raise my bp and give me headaches.

go to your pharmacist counter and ask for an education sheet on Lipitor. After reading it go back to him with any questions. They often know more about meds than doctors. Best wishes and good health.\nConsider the possibility of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Webmd.

Everyone reacts differently to combinations of meds. I take clonazapam and Paxil. I used to sleep really well,but it seems like the clonazapam or Paxil is disrupting my sleep lately and I always feel tired. I have an appt. to see my doctor next week. I suggest if you are having problems with your meds,to consult your physician and let him/her know what you are experiencing. You say,shut your brain down? Does this mean that you practice clearing your mind before going to sleep for the night? I do this also and it seems to help. Do you see a psychologist or psychiatrist to help you with this? If not I would suggest doing this also,as they can make you a CD or Tape,to help talk you through the steps at night. The calmness in their voice,helps too. Good luck with this. ZOYA\n\nEdit: I just read the other person's answer and please do not stop or start taking any of your meds without consulting your doctor first. Clonazapam is an addictive drug,that has serious and potentially dangerous side affects if stopped abruptly.

I have been taking Copaxone for a year and a half. It is hard for to to adjust sometimes to the changes in my fatigue level, because I want to do more things. If I am going to do something I either make sure to do it when I typically have the most energy or save my energy during the day before I do something at night.

Of course, not. Sleep dep. will catch up with you. You could end up with chronic fatigue like I did. Please get your sleep.

I took it for about a year but did not have any symptoms like that. You need to keep monitoring your B/P and see the doctor. You may need to have a different dose or be switched. It takes many people two or three changes to get just the right medication and/or level of meds before you find one that works for you. Good luck!

i was on wellbutrin for a good 2-4 years & i started to get REALLY tired & completely lacked all motivation. i had memory problems & was really unable to function intelligently. finally, i changed medicines a few times & now i am on effexor xr. i also discovered i had anxiety, which was something doctors had never really paid any attention to in the past.\n\nwhatever you do, DO NOT STOP TAKING THE MEDICINE ON YOUR OWN!!!! really really really bad stuff can happen!!! i made that mistake & i started feeling all sorts of really bizarre things & couldn't sleep... i have also heard you can have weird visions. so, don't do it on your own!!!

You probably have PVCs/PACs, I've had them for a few years and I hate those @@#$@ so much. They feel like an extra beat, flip flop, or fast double beat right? I think its recommended that you be evaluated by a cardiologist to make sure you dont have any heart defects. The vast majority of cases though either just happen for no apparent reason, anxiety/stress related, potassium/calcium/magnesium imbalance in your blood, or a thyroid problem like they were saying. My doc theyre probably anxiety related too and I didn't think I'm anxious either. A lot of people say beta blockers work for them as well and my doc put me on one but it didn't do anything for me. Never tried an antidepressant/anxiety drug but some people say those have helped them, so go for it if you want. Mine seem to be triggered when I'm under stress, drink, dont get enough sleep, or drink too much caffeine. Exercise seems to reduce them for me, but everyone's triggers are different. You can check out the heart forum at medhelp.org a lot of people have them and have all kinds of weird tips and tricks you can try. I think the best thing to do if they really bother you is keep track of what triggers them and then avoid those triggers if practical.

Beta-blockers \nBeta-blockers control the speed and force of heart beats by blocking the action of hormones such as adrenaline that make the heart beat faster and more vigorously. \nThey are effective in preventing angina. They can also lower raised blood pressure, reduce the risk of further heart attacks and help control abnormal heart rhythms. \nSide-effects include constriction of the air passages and small blood vessels, leading to cold hands and feet. They can conceal low blood sugar levels in diabetics - "selective" beta-blockers are less likely to do this than other forms of the drug. \nTiredness or fatigue may also be experienced\nPlease see the webpage for more details on Atenolol.

Have you tried some of the prophylactic medications in addition to the traditional migraine medications?  I use beta blockers; a class of drug used to treat angina and high blood pressure. The dosage I take each day is 40mg of propranolol (brand name is Inderal)  Also my doctor told me that a low dose (12.5mg - 25mg) of amitriptyline daily will help prevent migraines and lessen the pain if one occurs. The brand name is Elavil.  This medicine was originally (and still is in high doses) prescribed to treat depression.  You might want to ask you physician about these drugs if you have not yet tried them.  Good luck.
