Post by Superirish25 on Jan 18^th, 2015 at 8:40pm

He prescribes Verapamil 80MG a day with 4 pills a day so I get 120 pills a month with ZERO REFILLS. I need to take like 6 pills a day 480MG for it to take affect so within 30 days I am out of pills and doctor will not refill....any suggestions?

I don't see what his problem is, if you are getting regular
blood pressure tests, and all is a ok, then its time to change
your doctor.

ASK HIM WHAT HIS PLAN IS.

He may being doing a trial to see wha you reaction is to this dosage with the idea of increasing the dose.

Is he a doc with experience with headache disorders? ASK. If he has no special training and/or experience, it's probably time to find a headache specialist.
