zip2play on Mad March Hares- is it S.A.D lifting ?

Inderal has been my liffe saver. I enjoy the aura for about 5 minutes until it gets too pronounced than I run for the medicine chest, 40 mg. propranolol, and a dark quiet bed for about half an hour.

The pundits say that inderal (propranolol) must be taken daily for profyllaxis but the [pundits are quite wrong.

My method has kept the migraines at bay for several years now...dammit, I shouldn't have even THOUGHT that, much less typed it!

Migraine?

That's interesting- I suffered for about 20 years, till about 20 years ago and they restarted [mild, tho] last year when I started on Clonidine [BP med- low dose, even]

It may have been co-incidence though...

Maybe a new thread -if March Hare doesn't like it ?

Oh gosh yes...

I am in mortal fear of my typical April migraine complete with a Van Gogh-worthy preceding aura. Just beautiful. (I wish I could get a snapshot!)

Who said we humans weren't as seasonal as the lower animals.

Usually when a pessimist feels euphoric its the aura prior to an impending migraine! Sorry Zip - couldn't resist!

My SAD usually begins lifting December 15-21...and is gone by January 1. (Novemeber is my frighteningly awful month.)

But this year I got a double lift this last week after a particularly gruelling spell of Winter (Northeast U.S.) I've had two bouts where I've been euphoric to the point of clicking my heels. But being a pessimist by nature, when I feel momentary euphoria like that I am always still a bit "waiting for the other shoe to drop." One LEARNS how the world really works after 66 years.

Good to see the sun shining in the UK after some dank and soggy weeks.

Hopefully now summer is promising [in the N Hemisphere] more, remember to get plenty of daily sunshine to up your Vitimain D levels for max health-with or without ol' G to depress us more !
