Title: Verapamil dosage Post by lupie on Apr 25th, 2013 at 11:42am
I have been to see a neurologist who specialises in cluster headaches. He has told me to stop all the oxygen, sumatriptan and injections as the new med verapamil would stop the headaches. I am on 80 mg three times a day, with prednisalone for 4 days if I need it. Well in the last month since stopping the meds and O2 I have had 2 bouts. The last one started on the 16 th April. Today I ended up at A&E.
I don't think the new med is working, but he just says stick with it. How long before they work? I was told off by the staff nurse for having a sip of red bull so threw it away, but then the doc on duty said to drink the other one as it sometimes works. IT DID! But how many is safe to take to stop the headaches? The others on the forums are on a much higher dose of verapamil, is mine too low and is that possible why it isn't working a a prophylaxis? I do not know how to cope with this day in and day out, please help, what do I do? :'( |
