Propranolol for migraines?

Hey everyone,

I have suffered with migraines since I was 18, I am now 24. I used to be on Amitriptyline and they worked very well for me.

I had to come off this as I fell pregnant and the risks were too high for me to continue taking if I wasn't getting migraines anymore.

Since having baby (4 months old now), in the last month I've had 4 migraines, I asked the doctor to go back on Amitriptyline three weeks ago. The aura is getting worse, I go partially blind in my eyes and extremely fuzzy headed. Yesterday I woke up and felt drunk I was so dizzy from my migraine on Sunday! Still going today. I used to only get migraines for 2 days max.

I called today and said the treatment isn't working as the migraines just seem to get worse each time. They've put me on Propranolol, can I have good and bad stories on this treatment please?

Would be great to hear what people think before I start this. Doctor has said if this doesn't work, I'll go back on Amitriptyline but a higher dose.
