User Reviews for Verapamil

verapamil for Migraine Prevention: I have been on this medication for the past week for blood pressure and migraines. So far I my blood pressure has been lowered and I haven't had a migraine. It makes me a little sleepy but it is nothing I can't handle. I have taken another kind of blood pressure medication previously and it made me feel funny but this doesn't. I'm glad that my doctor prescribed me a medication that can "kill two birds with one stone". I have felt better since I've been taking it.

Verelan PM (verapamil) for High Blood Pressure: I have had excellent results with this medication and only minimum side effects ( occasional constipation. I am a long-time calcium channel blocker taker and so far it has been an excellent prescription.

verapamil for Cluster Headaches: I started this medication to clear up 2-4 migraine headaches a week. I have only had one in several weeks of taking it. I am very happy with the results. It has greatly improved my life.

verapamil for High Blood Pressure: Great pill. It really works well.

verapamil for Cluster Headaches: This medication was originally prescribed for high blood pressure, but in higher doses has 99% eliminated my cluster headaches and helped with temper outbursts. A powerful, multi-purpose and inexpensive medication.

verapamil for Migraine Prevention: I was prescribed this medication to prevent migraines. It has worked very well and has eliminated my severe ones.

verapamil for Arrhythmia: Was prescribed 120mg (a low dose I understand) 2 weeks ago for constant arrhythmia. I estimate I now have arrhythmia 30% of the time and the feeling is much less intense. Greatly relieved, although still wonder what triggered this condition. No noticeable side effects yet.

verapamil for Migraine Prevention: I'm in shape, exercise, eat healthy, take my vitamins, no smoking or alcohol, yet have been miserable with headaches and frequent migraines. Verapamil, even in it's lowest dose, has helped to greatly reduce the frequency of my headaches and migraines. It is amazing to function all day without an aching head. It made me aware, for the first time, just how frequently I was experiencing problems. Very grateful for this medication.

Calan SR (verapamil) for Migraine Prevention: Works very well for migraines and heart rhythm problems

Calan SR (verapamil) for Supraventricular Tachycardia: I used Verapamil for 5 years to treat supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). With each visit to the doctor, they increased my dosage. I started out taking 30mg once a day, and ended with 180mg once a day. For the most part, my symptoms were never controlled. The drug caused extreme fatigue and tiredness. I often had severe headaches and was constipated. I have been switched to Atenolol 50mg once a day now. Hopefully I won't have as many unwanted side effects.

verapamil for Migraine Prevention: I received no relief for my frequent migraines, despite staying on Verapamil and having the dosage steadily increased over the course of one year. I am discontinuing usage.

verapamil for Cluster Headaches: Have taken 120mg 3 x per day during cluster cycles for many years. Taper off when I think I'm finished with cycles. Sometimes takes a week or two to start working, but almost always eliminates or diminishes severity of attacks.

Calan (verapamil) for Migraine Prevention: I started taking Calan (Varapamil) 20 years ago. It decreased my migraines from monthly, to only getting them every five years. So obviously I think it works amazing. 120mg per day, and I take extra if I feel like one is coming on. More recently I also started taking 400mg magnesium, and I think that has helped also.

verapamil for High Blood Pressure: I took this medication for a week and although it did help with my blood pressure it made me very confused and light headed. I got so bad that I stopped taking the medicine and called my doctor for a different type of medication. Just wasn't for me I guess.

verapamil for Supraventricular Tachycardia: I am having severe constipation after I started taking this drug.

verapamil for Cluster Headaches: Spent 20 years trying to get a correct diagnosis of what ended up being Cluster Headaches. Finally diagnosed by a neurologist and started taking Verapamil Hydrochloride 240mg once per day during cluster cycles with amazing results. Takes up to 9 days to work, but boy does it work! Amazing results for this cluster sufferer. Has made my life worth living again. Side effects are minimal. If you have cluster headaches then you really need this miracle pill!

verapamil for Migraine Prevention: I just started on verapamil for migraines/blood pressure 2 weeks ago. I went in to the doctor with a migraine and my blood pressure was high. I can tell a difference and feel better already. After years of awful pain it is a nice relief. However I am sleeping so sound that I don't hear my husband up at night. I take the pill at bedtime. I am not able to get up to run at 4:45 am either.

Calan (verapamil) for Cluster Headaches: I get episodic Cluster Headaches and taking this medication keeps the headaches from happening. I took 80mg three times a day the first time it was prescribed, but had to double the dosage this time around.

Calan SR (verapamil) for Cluster Headaches: Calan SR worked miracles for me. It doesn't stop the headaches; over a short period of time the drug builds up in your system and then you can feel an attack coming on (the eye starting to droop and some nasal congestion), then, viola, the headache is aborted!

verapamil for Arrhythmia: Have slow pulse plus atrial fibrillation-since newly diagnosed 2010 have been happy with results.Pulse beating much stronger and regular beat more frequently. My husband takes for high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation and a much higher dose than I take. He has been on it for a long time with excellent results. Beta Blockers and other blood pressure pills did not seem to work for him. All our bodies are different and respond to medication differently, but we are both satisfied.

verapamil for Arrhythmia: This medicine helped with the fast heart rate but caused impotence. No other side effects were noticed.

Calan SR (verapamil) for Migraine Prevention: From 1965 through 1992 I suffered from what a doctor called Migraine Headaches. I endured the sporadic episodes until they became longer in duration and more often. The constant nausea was worse than the headache itself, causing me to go to bed until the event would suddenly subside. Went to a doctor again around 1992 and was prescribed Calan SR. I took it until the prescription ran out ... and did not have any headaches during that time ... but then I did not renew my prescription and stopped taking it all together. However, I have never had a migraine again nor any type of headache at all since around 1992 to this day 2010 - that is approximately 16 years without even a headache. I consider this a miracle.

verapamil for Migraine Prevention: Very effective initially but has started to fade. Was already on Tenormin for blood pressure, but was sometimes having 3-4 attacks per week. When I started verapamil, I went for nearly 3 months before another attack. Now taking the absolute maximum dosage to control blood pressure, but attacks are slowly becoming more frequent.

Calan SR (verapamil) for Supraventricular Tachycardia: I have been taking CALAN SR 120 for over 10 years now. My episodes of SVT occur at most a couple of times a year and then for short duration. My pharmacy issued me a generic once because CALAN was not available and I had SVTs almost daily. I was very glad when CALAN became available again. I would not like to be without it.

verapamil for Cluster Headaches: Great for cluster headaches. Haven't had a severe cluster headache since I was diagnosed correctly (cluster headache sufferers know the story) and started taking it. I take the 240 mg ER version.
