Welcome Gary,
Sorry about the head, hope you get a break soon.
I think Sansert is still avaliable, it just didnt work for me.
Good luck,
Mark

Gary,

The Verapamil dosage seems low to me. I take 480mg daily and it helps alot. Might check into an increase in your Verap.

Good luck. Keep us posted.

Gary,

I'm not familiar with Sansert - but I believe there are others who have had some success with this med....maybe they'll post for you.....

I agree with Sue Ellen - your Verap dose is low and an increase may be all that you need....

Good luck to you - keep the faith...
