For High Blood Pressure "I've been on Diltiazem for decades, beginning with 240mg. After cardiac ablation a few years ago, my dose was reduced to 180mg. Over the years with several prescription plans, I've used virtually every branded and generic version. I can't discern any difference between them. I'm now purchasing this drug mail-order, as the cash price is less than the copay from my Part D plan! Diltiazem CD/ER keeps my BP in the normal range, with no noticeable side effects."

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?"

For High Blood Pressure "This has been a terrible drug. So many side effects. The room was spinning round, my eyes have been damaged. My eyesight has been affected. So much dizziness, and dreadful breathing problems. I was diagnosed with bronchospasm. It's like asthma. heart rate all over the place. Cardiologists should be made to this med before inflicting it on their patients."
