Hilary, and other Inderol users... Twenty-seven years ago, after suffering frequent, and excruciating migraines, I heard about Dr. Lee Kudrow (and YES - he IS related to actress Lisa Kudrow.... He's her dad), and his California Headache Clinic, which fortunately, was located very close to my home. Dr. Kudow did a series of tests, and then put me on Inderol, along with teaching me bio-feedback, as well as certian foods to omit from my diet. First, let me say, the prgram worked worked very well for me, and I rarely get a migraine-type headache any more. Those I do get are MUCH less painful then they were in the past. Now, back to the Inderol.... The first thing Dr. Kudrow told me when he put me on Inderol was to NEVER, EVER go cold-turkey off this drug because doing that might cause cardiac arrest, and possibly even death. D. Kudrow also kept his migaine patients to a MAXIMUM of four months - even those who didn't a heart condition - because of the potential heart-related problems that may have gone undiagnosed for years because that's the nature of heart disease. PLEASE double check with your MD if you've been taking Inderol ONLY for migraines, and keep in mind that there are MANY new drugs out now - some even over-the-counter - which bring close to instant relief from migraine pain.
