Verapamil Info please
Jan 7^th, 2011 at 4:59am

Hi again,
I recently asked about the use of verapamil on the site & would like to thank everyone for their replies.
Now I am on 800mg per day but am still getting attacks. Over the next week I am working my way up to the max dose of 960mg. Sometimes a daily attack but definitely a major one during the night. Is this about right or should the amount of verapamil I'm taking stop them altogether?
Any information would be really appreciated.
Tony.

It takes weeks to get the right amount of verapamil in your system to work more effectively. Hang in there!!

The faster a hit is aborted, the less "hold" they seem to have. Try melatonin at night; energy drinks at the first sign of a hit (although careful not to exceed one drink/day with the verapamil) and huff, and puff, and consume large quantities of O2. God bless! lance

It'd be nice to find a med that blocks them 100% of the time, we're just not there yet. Hang in there. Joe
