Reply #1 - Jul 2^nd, 2013 at 6:58pm For several years the only pharmaceuticals that kept the beast at bay for me was what is referred to as the "chronic cocktail." Lithium and verapamil. Daily I took 900mg of lithium and 480mg of verapamil. Got pretty sick and tired of the side effects.

I was on Migral for half of my adult life and thought that was bad enough, no gangrene lucky for me, but lots of nausea.I did note that one of the main side effects of Verapamil were headaches!
