First off while attempting to contact my physcian today I was informed that he was unavailable until tommorow. No biggie, but as I went to refill my prescription for a bottle of 120mg Verapamil. I read through the little patient info handbill you recieve with your prescription.
I noticed this under 'side effects and warnings'
The following side effects may occur -
flushing, nausea, constipation, dizziness, swelling of the hands, feet, or legs...
and get this - headaches! lol

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I like how hormone relpacement meds my doc THINKS I am takeing causes hair loss, bloating and a list of aweful side effects. I rather have hot flashes and moodyness then go bald and fat as a woman. I like how "everything" lists side effects causeing bloating and ha's.....nothin cuter then a chick with huge bald spots and so bloated ya gotta roll across the floor with a frickin ha and some nausia mixed in......too sexy for my meds Pam

Neekwa,
all the meds I've taken to prevent ch has "headaches" in their side effects list. I always thought that it's funny, in that ironic way. 
Wishing you PF time,
Sanna

I know how you feel.
It's known as ass covering insurance. Most side-effects are short-lived or not evident but then......
