User Reviews for verapamil oral

This medicine has made me light headed. I'm always tired. I have even fainted once.

heart fluttering

I have taken Verapamil SR 120mg once a day for 10 yrs. to slow my heartbeat down and help my heart to relax and pump more efficient. I notice that when I don't take it my chest will hurt. So taking it everyday is very important.

I have been taking 120 mg twice daily for about 3 months now and my migraines are less intense and I have only had maybe 4 headaches total so far. I use to get about 2 - 3 headaches a week. I love this medication!!!

After having a cluster headache episode for 3 and 1/2 months my doctor put me on verapmil. And less than 2 weeks later not only were my headaches gone, but I was able to have a real beer and or a glass of wine.

this drug is great my heart rate has reduced alot nd I feel so much better.

I found you can not take vitamin D in any form with this. It has caused a hesitant conditon in my pulse rate. The pulse beats alright for some beats then stops a second and starts again. My doctor said she had heard of vitamin D interfering but I was the first she had seen with this condition.

Great

The Doc prescribed Verapamil after 2 weeks of severe cluster headaches, following a 10 day dosage of Prednisone. The first dosage of Verapamil 120mg did not kick the headaches, so he doubled the dose to 240mg. The headaches eased to a tolerable state at that dosage until they went away fully after about a month. The doc then kept me on Verapamil indefinitely for the headaches and high blood pressure. Be prepared to wake up 3 or 4 times a night to urinate while on this medication. I've also experienced the dizziness and tiredness at times, but not every day like with the urinating. So far I am impressed with Verapamil.Read More Read Less

Have been taking for 3 weeks now. Since taking 40mg a day for background headaches and migraine prevention, I have noticed a remarkable improvement in how many daily headaches - maybe 1 a week vs. 1-2 a day. My gums are very sensitive, no bleeding, but feel tingly often. Other than that, this has made my life so much better.

I do have the constipation but I am using benefiber and that helps. I also urinate a lot more than before but I guess that is a good thing. I like this drug very much.

have taken 120mg for 4 months it lowered my bp so low i couldnt funtion also lowered my pulse to the low 40's also ended up with fluid build up on my lungs from this medicine and now on felodipine 5 mg take at night seems to be working bp is normal now so is pulse rate. but still have some fluid on lungs hope to clear that up soon be careful on this med you can easy over dose with it so always inform doctor of low bp and pulse rate

there is the night urinating. i found if you eat an unusual salty meal you will eliminate water all night. no complaints. have managed my high blood pressure with this drug.

Good Lord, what a RELIEF! I have had cluster headaches for 18 years, and only now have been able to break the cycle with verapamil and a "kick off" dose of prednisone. No more triptans..ya hoo! I do not take verapamil all the time, just when a cluster session comes, which for me is every 9-16 months for 4 weeks at a time.

I've been taking verapamil for a week now and so far have only minor "background" headaches, after almost three weeks of migraines/cluster headaches. Have tried several treatments for prevention - couldn't tolerate Topamax, and propranalol didn't do anything but make me dizzy. Rescue meds like Imitrex and Zomig have helped a little, but my best rescue combo is Relpax and Excedrin with ice packs front and back.

My 12 year old daughter has been on this for only 1 week. For a severe migraine/rebound headache that has lasted 6 weeks. So far some improvement but some dizziness and she is lightheaded.

I am worried about this medication because I also take propanlolol and I think this interferes with it, but my doctor says not toworry. I take 40mg a day of propanlolol.

I have noticed a big difference w/my headaches and racing heart. But causes constipation problems

I have taken this drug for approximatly 16 years for paroxismal atrial tachicardia. It is the only drug which stopped my heart rates up to 220 beats per minute. Although I wonder what the long term effects of this drug is after so many years of use.

It has wiped me out and i get all kinds of body aches, it has been 3 weeks and my life is not normal, I am all but drooling on just 120 mg 1 per day
