Post by J.ten_Dam on Feb 2^nd, 2004, 9:27am

:D hi I have been using melatonin 12 mg for two months now and it works quite well, at least as well as verampamiel did.What I would like to know is there someone that uses verampamiel and melatonin together and at what dosage. By the way my speach problem has dissapeard since I stoped taking verampamiel.

240 mg Verapamil and 12 mg Meletonin for about 2 months. I'm not taking either now though ( It didn't help )

Yes, I used both together which seemed to end my last cycle early. I was at 360mg verapamil with 9mg melatonin at night. This level seemed to help me the most with no side effects.

Chronic here, verapamil SR 240mg twice a day and 0.5mg melatonin at bedtime, get one or sometimes two CH a month which O2 or Imitrex handle.
