recently got switched back to Beta Blockers (from the
Calcium Channel Blocker, Cardizem) because of recent angina
diagnoisis.
was first given Toprol XL 50mg (split/twice a day) but was
really having problems with headaches and drowsiness.
i have now switched to Propranolol (Inderal) 40mg (3 times a
day) instead of the Toprol. the Inderal get points for
helping me with some social phobia/anxiety issues that the
Toprol did not.
plus, the headaches are fewer.....yet i really miss the no-
hassle "one-a-day" easy convenience of the Cardizem and the
fact that it controlled my BP yet didn't make me as drowsy
all the time.
question: is there any kind of "user-friendly" style (one
pill a day) Beta Blocker available that perhaps also goes
easy on drowsiness factor?
thanks again for this great forum, too.
