J,
Constipation is, by far, the most common side effect of Verapamil. I have never heard of diarrhea associated with the drug, but people do have wierd reactions to medications...
If the diarrhea becomes excessive, stop taking the medication. It is most likely viral, and after it resolves, you can give it another try. Certainly, if you have any other symptoms with the medication (itching, trouble breathing, etc) stop the medication immediately.
