I’ve been taking 480 mg of Verapamil a day for a year. The major side-effect has been constipation, which my doctor didn’t even bother to mention. He did mention light-headedness, but I haven’t noticed this. I take Verapamil not only as a cluster-preventive, but also for high blood pressure. So, I expect to be taking it for the rest of my life. I haven’t heard or read anything to suggest that Verapamil is more dangerous than high blood pressure and I know for sure that constipation is less painful than clusters.
