Calan SR (verapamil): 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: 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: 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.

verapamil: 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: 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.
