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

For Cluster Headaches "I get episodic cluster headaches, and taking this medication keeps the headaches from happening. I took 80 mg three times a day the first time it was prescribed, but had to double the dosage this time around."

For Migraine Prevention "I've been taking Calan for over 18 years and it is truly amazing. I was having severe, life-altering migraines at least once a week, usually twice. The migraines stopped instantly the week I started using this medication. If I miss a dose, the headache will come in about two days. Great motivation to take the medication on a timely basis. I highly recommend this treatment for migraines."
