"Dr. increased me from 30 to 60 two days ago. Been on 30 for 17 years. Was no longer helping angina or high blood pressure. It seems to be helping pressure but having some chest pain. Also have severe COPD."

"I took my first dose at 12:30 pm, went to work, no unusual symptoms. At 12:30 am I woke up with my left foot feeling odd. My big toe was standing straight up toward the ceiling, no pain like a spasm. The only way to get it right was standing on the floor. It happened 3 times. Then 10 minutes later, my neck felt constrictive and my jaw and teeth started hurting. This is an indication for me of a heart attack. I went to the ER, EKG was fine, my troponins were great. I got a massive headache. The pain in my neck and jaw lasted 3 solid hours, no relief until the Tylenol kicked in. I will not be taking this medication anymore."

"My husband was prescribed Imdur for chest pain. He suffered involuntary head and arm jerking, nausea, muscle weakness, severe itching, dry mouth, severe edema, and, as he put it, a feeling he couldn't explain, but it felt like something was just tearing him apart inside. This drug should be destroyed."

"Had a week of pretty bad headaches but was told my body would likely adjust. Now on med for a month and feel better than I have in years. Still have palpitations but not the radiating chest pain. Starting to have more energy and sleeping better."

"Was started on Imdur 60 mg for nightly chest pain following 2 angios and 5 stents. Initially, it was very effective, and I did not experience any chest pain/tightness, but a fortnight later, the effect is wearing off, and I am again experiencing chest pain at night."

"Was prescribed this medication by a new cardiologist while hospitalized to help with spasms associated with Prinzmetal's (variant) angina. So far, I feel a difference in my condition, but will form a more solid opinion when I'm on Imdur a bit longer."

"Went to the ER last Sunday for chest pain/angina attack, couldn't walk up the stairs without feeling like I was having a heart attack, so the new cardiologist put me on Imdur 30 mg. The first day I was fine, the second day about 3 to 5 hours after taking it I came down with an ungodly migraine. I have been on it now for 6 days, and 5 of them I have had a migraine - not cool. But I have to admit that I'd rather have the headache because it has been heavenly being able to walk around with zero heart attack-like pain."

"Was put on Imdur (1/2 30 mg tab) after heart catheterization. Worst 6 days of my life. I tried to wait out the week for my system to acclimate to the meds, but I couldn't do it. I would take the meds at 6 a.m. and by 8 a.m. I would have the worst headache. Nothing helped. I tried everything: Tylenol, heat packs, cold packs, even my migraine cocktail. By day 6, it was so bad I had to go to the ER for a shot of Toradol. I was completely down for 6 days. Doctor finally discontinued Imdur and is trying something else. This may work for some, but not for me."

"Extremely bad side effects with 2nd dose. First dose last evening felt fine. Feel as if I have most side effects and cannot take."

"I was taking 30 mg, and the doc increased the Imdur to 60 mg. Now I have a headache, can’t sleep, feel like everything is moving or spinning, and pain in my neck. My low back feels disconnected when in bed, and all I want to do is vomit. It has been 2 days since the increase."
