Inderal - Worth it? Or not?

Well, the neuro has me on Inderal LA, 90mg per day. Frequency has been down, and severeity way down. However, I've been dealing with a migraine that's been dogging me for about 5 days, peaking up to a 5 a couple of times, and last night, all the way up to an 8.

I think the Inderal is helping, but along with the Inderal comes vivid dreams nightly. And I mean all night long. Stupid dreams. Dreams about being at my grandmothers house. Dreams about being at work (yeah, great-- work 9 hours, then dream about being at work for 8 hours). Additionally, the pill keeps my heart rate down-- in the low 60's. This makes it fun to walk up a set of steps. I'm wheezing for air by the time I get to the top.

Maybe a tricyclic antidipressant needs to be tried-- either that or one of the anti-siezure medicines like Topomax. I need to call the neuro and ask.
