Welcome to MyMigraineConnection!
I am sorry to hear you are suffering and that nothing you've tried so far seems to be doing the trick. I am no longer in Inderal either, since it made me way too dizzy. I too have a normally low blood pressure and was having dizzy spells with Inderal.
Migraine is a genetic neurological disease to which, currently, there is no cure. But, the good news is there are over 100 medications that are being used as preventive treatments. You can see the entire list: HERE.
You mention having mild to severe head pain daily. Have you heard of Medication Overuse Headache, aka Rebound? This type of headache can happen when we take too many of the medications used to help with the pain or abort a Migraine. For more informaion on MOH, check out: Medication Overuse Headache: When Remedy Backfires and also: Stopping Medication Overuse Can Halt Transformed Migraine.
We also have a list of patient recommended Migraine Specialists - if you feel you are getting nowhere from your current physicians, it may be time to find someone else. You can check out the list: HERE
Also, feel free to come on over to the forum side of the site, if you have not already! You can reach it by clicking this link: http://forums.healthcentral.com/discussion/migraine/forums?ic=4026 You will have to make another user name and password for that side of the site, but feel free to use the same information you used for this side if you would like.
Good luck to you!

I found this website yesterday, and I am glad to hear that others suffer as I do. I also am currently taking Inderal but 40mg once a day, and it has not been helping. I have a headache daily from mild to severe and probably 2-3 full blown migraines a month. I have baffled my family dr, my neurologist and my neurosurgeon as they can't figure out what is causing them. My family dr was going to suggest increasing my dosage of inderal, but since my BP is already at 90/54 she thinks it will make the situation worse. My neurologist had me on Topomax, but that didn't truly work either and caused the worst of the worst side effects and my weight plummented. Imitrex made me loopy and Relpax helps if I catch it in time, but is temporary. As you can see I am sort of at my wits end, and feel totally defeated.
But I am glad to hear it's working for you, and hope you have continued success.
