Most people who are episodic take verapamil only when in cycle. When they feel the episode may be ending they will try and lower the dose and finally stop vera- pamil altogether.
 
There is no sense in taking medication for, say, 6 months between episodes.  And taking vera all the time will not prevent your next cycle to come along.
 
I don't know if one's body can ghet so used to Verapamil that a new cluster episode will break through and you';d have to take even more Vera.
As I say, I don't know but it might be a possibility.
 
I'd say try and wean yourself of Vera, if youfeel your episode is over.

There is a break in reality. Do not adjust your mind.
