Title: Feverfew/ Do you need to stop all other meds?
Post by Geotan on Sep 16^th, 2002, 2:33pm

I've read all the posts on Feverfew, but it doesn't really say anything about stopping other meds first. My husband is on Verapmil 240mg 2x a day. Does anybody know anything about it?

Thanks for reading, Geotan

When I tried feverfew, I kept up my verapamil. All I know, with the verapamil I was only having attacks every few days to a week, but shadows every other day... After a little over a week of starting the feverfew, I had 3 attacks in 2 days. After stopping the feverfew, things started going back to how they were. I don't know if the feverfew inhibited the effectiveness of the verapamil, or if it was just a reaction to the feverfew itself, but I definately did not see any help from the feverfew.
