Title: It’s been a while... Post by greeneyes87 on Feb 25th, 2020 at 9:24pm I have been on a steady dose of Verapamil 80mg 3 times a day....which oddly enough have helped keep the CH at bay for the most part. I still get migraines that I take a monthly Emgality shot for. Dr. Also has me on Venlafaxine. I just recently upped my verapamil dose to 120 mg morning and night at 80mg in afternoon. The past couple days I have been soooo tired. Has anyone noticed verapamil making them sleepy? |

Great to see you, GreenEyes, even if it is for all the wrong reasons.
Tiredness is a common side-effect of Verapamil and so, delightfully, is headaches. Some things never cease to amaze me. |

Hi greeneyes, maybe talk with your doctor about upping your Emgality dose to 300mg once a month, which is recommended for the treatment of episodic CH's, it's having a good record of becoming CH free.

Yes verapamil can cause tiredness. For me it is like having a handbrake on. You can adapt to it but the side effect is always there.
