My experience-propranolol after amitriptyline

---

Looking for advice with propranolol dose after coming off amitriptyline. The amitriptyline worked for migraine but after a few months it caused tachycardia and my doctor has opted to switch me to propranolol with a starting dose of 40mg daily.

I started by taking half of the 40mg tablets (not slow release) without issues and had no issues. Taking the full 40mg once a day for the last few days.

Doctor (primary care not neurologist) had no advice regarding times to take it. One dose of 40mg per day and try 80mg if migraines breakthrough. No advice on splitting doses throughout the day.

Is it better to take it 20mg morning and night or just one dose of 40 per day? Does it have any impact on the migraine preventation or is splitting it up just to avoid side effects?

Thanks so much!
