What Causes Dizziness Along With Headaches And Nausea?

I was recently prescribed propranolol by my neurologist for migraine treatment. I suffer from chronic daily migraine symptoms. Have tried Many meds. The only successful one was Effexor which I took for years but weaned off 2 years ago hoping there would be something less addicting. My dr gave me propranolol a week ago- 10 mg 2x a day for 5 days to start. I am so light headed that I can t function and I had full blown migraine symptoms of pain, nausea and light sensitivity. I am stopping propranolol. Hoping to find a better migraine med.
