we have a couple of clusterheads over at OUCH Canada that are experiencing the same thing. They both see the same doctor, actually (Doc Robinson), and he says it can be a common side effect of the verapamil. You may need to adjust your dosage to see if it helps, but please do work with your doctor on this. NEVER a good idea to play with dosages without medical supervision.

One of those folks would be me, with the summer heat, my feet got to the point I was unable to wear shoes  As Margi said please consult with your doctor as to what is going on, for me I stayed at the same doseage but take diuretics if they get too bad, good luck and inform your doctor

Should I contact my doc now, or wait until my next appointment. The swelling isn't constant or bad or anything. Just noticable and uncomfortable at times.

Personally, I called the neuro right away just to let them know, if that is something that you can do go ahead, just to keep them apprised and if he/she is concerened they will have you come in!
Good luck and take care!!!Keep an eye on it as well, how much verap are you taking?
