Ok, question here. Because the BOTOX injections didn't really work for my headaches/Migraines, and Tylenol on a continued basis isn't good for the liver, my doc upped my Propranalol from 80mg to 160mg.
Although I have been on 80mg for 3 months, it has been 3 days since doubling it and I am just dragging! It's not really helping me sleep better at night, but it sure kicks me during the day. Has anyone else been on Propranalol and if so, does it affect you like this?

Fatigue is one of the labeled side effects. Did you ever try the combination of Tylenol and aspirin? It works great for me.
The liver toxicity level for Tylenol is listed as 4000 mgs per day. That would be a maximum dose 4 times per day. Taking less with aspirin could go a long way. You can also get a simple liver blood test to check liver condition.

Hi. I have been on a lower dose of this medication after having issues with a higher dose. The issue I experienced was a drop in my blood pressure (80/56...yikes) that was causing fatigue and dizzy spells. The doctor indicated this could happen due to the RX being a blood pressure medication. You may want to monitor your blood pressure to see if it could be causing a drop that is resulting fatigue.
