Ummmm. Hi. Uh 25 mg of Verapamil. I think you got the dosage wrong. I think it comes in its lowest at like 120 mg.
Good luck.

mrataxic,
There is a california chapter of ouch. p.m. me and i will get you further info for that support group.
good luck with the hospital stay. have you tried DHE IV at the ER yet? this often times will break a difficult cycle.
The verap dose. The lowest dose pill is 40 mg. Are you getting 25mg via an apothecary or is that a typo?
hang in there, p.m. me anytime and while in the hospital you have a wealth of vibes headed your way for pain relief.
good luck
renee

Ditto what Superpain asked ... 2 weeks straight, without a break at all ?
Scott, I've had 80 mg pills of Verapamil, but never seen the 40's. (Don't doubt there out there though)
Mike, you're getting the Solu Medrol IV's at the ER I guess. It's not helping for any length of time? Maybe ask for Decadron, Droperidol, and Benedryl IV next time. If all else fails - DHE always works for me (temporarly)
Goodluck,
