User Reviews for Diltiazem

Cartia XT (diltiazem) for Atrial Fibrillation: I am taking Cartia XT 240 MG for atrial fibrillation. It works and I have not noticed any other side effects other than being sleepy all of the morning. I take it at 6:30 am and usually could fall asleep without much prompting. However I'm not groggy and can concentrate fine. The heart is in rhythm and thats what counts.

Cardizem (diltiazem) for High Blood Pressure: Excellent treatment for high blood pressure. Been taking for over 15 years with excellent results.

Cardizem (diltiazem) for Atrial Fibrillation: The only drug that has worked to help me get my Atrial fibrillation under control.

Cardizem (diltiazem) for High Blood Pressure: Started this medication over a year ago, and it has helped keep my heartbeat regular. I had an episode where my heart rate was over 200bpm, and had to go to the ER in an ambulance from my doctor's office. It has not repeated, thank goodness, and I had no side effects from this medication, which I take with Zestril (which I'd been taking for many years before).

Cardizem CD (diltiazem) for Atrial Fibrillation: I have been on this medicine for two months. I have had one attack since I started. I do feel a little tired and weak but no other side effects.

Cartia XT (diltiazem) for Supraventricular Tachycardia: I have been taking Cartia XT for supraventricular tachycardia for about 5 years. This medication has completely controlled the racing heart that I used to get from time to time. I've had no side effects. A big bonus is that eating ice cream used to trigger the racing heart beat. Now I can eat ice cream.

Cardizem (diltiazem) for High Blood Pressure: I switched to Cardizem from Toprol-XL. Cardizem tires me for about 3 hours, then I'm good.

Cardizem (diltiazem) for Atrial Fibrillation: Taking it for many years with no adverse effects. It's been highly effective.

diltiazem for High Blood Pressure: I've recently started it to lower excessive blood pressure. It does that. I feel more comfortable and relaxed too. However, it does bring on light headaches sometimes.

Cardizem CD (diltiazem) for Supraventricular Tachycardia: I have been on this medication a couple of years for supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension and have not had ONE episode of SVT since being on it. I used to get SVT once or twice a month, so this medicine has truly made my life better. The problem I now face is with my insurance company since they are hiking up non-generic co-pays to 4 times as much as before. Since there is no generic until 2011, I must either forego this medicine and try something else or pay something I can't afford. This is frustrating when I know the medicine works.

Cartia XT (diltiazem) for Atrial Fibrillation: I use Cartia XT for A-fibrillation. The only problem I ran into was using generics. CVS switched their provider and it did not work as well. 2 days of A-fibrillation and I went on the real deal. What a difference, everything is back to normal.

Cartia XT (diltiazem) for Atrial Fibrillation: I was on Cartia XT when they discontinued it. It is the ONLY drug that works for me. There was no warning from CVS either. I went into fibrillation. The doctor put me on four different drugs after that of which none worked. One was too hard and large to swallow, one had food dye and I am allergic, and one made my head ring terribly. Another one is on the way but it is twice a day. Since I also have fibromyalgia, I have to be extra careful.

diltiazem for High Blood Pressure: Leaves me feeling as if I am in a fog, very lightheaded and confused.

diltiazem for High Blood Pressure: I just start 240 mg for high blood pressure/high heart rate. Although I felt fine, my legs and feet swelled up. Talk about major fluid retention!

Cartia XT (diltiazem) for High Blood Pressure: Be prepared for a "mental health day". My first 240mg dose wiped me out for a full 24 hours. I was dizzy and just plain off. Sitting to standing was a crash and burn experiment. It passed quickly and since 2nd day was okay.

Cardizem (diltiazem) for Raynaud's Syndrome: Recently diagnosed. Has helped tremendously on circulation and fatigue. I was amazed that I was able to grab a handful of snow for a short time without triggering an onset of usual numb painful cycle. I started off with 180mg and now on 300mg daily. I now have my thermostat set lower and get hot wearing long sleeves now! I'm a happy camper for the first time in years.

Cardizem CD (diltiazem) for Atrial Fibrillation: Been on this for over 1 month. AF still happening nearly everyday. May last for 36 hours. I don't think it does any good. I'll see doctor in 12 days. Hope he has something else to try.

diltiazem for High Blood Pressure: After my cardiologist tried me on many different combinations of Blood Pressure medications over a period of 3 years, Diltiazem worked perfectly. I'm on the maximum dosage allowed, but take it twice a day in different dosages. With Hyzaar 100/12.5 at breakfast, I take 240 mg of Diltiazem. With dinner, I take 300 mg of Diltiazem. I have had no side effects that I'm aware of. Incidentally, when I was put on Diltiazem, I was taken off Toprol XL and I felt so much better after Toprol was out of my system. I had no idea it was affecting me adversely until I was off it. I saw on the review of Toprol that for as many people who said they tolerated it well, there were an equal amount of others who had bad reactions to it.

diltiazem for Atrial Fibrillation: All I know is that it works.

diltiazem for High Blood Pressure: This medication when dispensed as Cartia was very effective. Recently, my pharmacy started substituting from other sources. (I guess they are saving a 10th of a cent per pill) and I am having negative reactions. Facial swelling, itching and rash on face and neck. I have stopped using the medicine.

diltiazem for Angina Pectoris Prophylaxis: I have taken Diltiazem for the past week for blood pressure and angina issues (pain in my chest). I has worked wonders; however, it does make you rather dizzy at times. I take this with Plavix as my cardiologist recommended.

Diltiazem Hydrochloride CD (diltiazem) for High Blood Pressure: I had been on Diltiazem CR (controlled release) 240mg per day, took it every morning faithfully. I am now in Spain where they do not have the controlled release but gave me Diltiazem regular release 60mg. The first day I took all four at once in the morning and it dragged me down so far I about collapsed. Now, I'm trying to regulate it, taking one 60mg in the morning, then one at noon, then one about 4pm, then one about 8pm. I have heard that some blood pressure medicines shouldn't be taken before one goes to bed. Does anyone know about this one?

Diltiazem Hydrochloride SR (diltiazem) for High Blood Pressure: I have 7 kids and I'm only 28. I was on life support and when I came to I found out that my pressure had dropped. Now I'm on diltiazem 120mg once a day and it working great for me.

diltiazem for High Blood Pressure: This medication, diltiazem 24 hour release capsule, makes me feel very light as if I had sinus pain.

Cartia XT (diltiazem) for Supraventricular Tachycardia: I have had SVTs for about 18 years and was switched from Calan SR to this drug. I had no issues for about 4 years until recently when I was told that Cartia had been discontinued. Now I am on Diltiazem for 3 months and have already had 2 episodes in a month. I am going to try my hardest to get back on Cartia
