Doctor has prescribed me verapamil and lithium but I'm having many side effects. I want to know will the side effects go away after sometime because the headaches and side effects are really giving me a hard time.
Plz help and thanks in advance.

I have beeen on this vit D3 regimen and have been mainly pain free since 3 weks after i started it. It is a long thread with at least 80 pages to read but it is well worth the effort.
All the best
