User Reviews for Verapamil

verapamil: 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.

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

verapamil: 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): Works very well for migraines and heart rhythm problems

verapamil: 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.

Calan (verapamil): 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: 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 SR (verapamil): 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: 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.
