Title: Verapomil & Melatonin
Post by Jeepgun on Apr 8^th, 2004, 10:29am

Aside from some shadows, since I started Verapomil a few days ago, I've been pain-free. Last night, I decided to throw down 6mg of melatonin before bedtime, and that stuff left me groggy as hell, this morning. Maybe tonight, I'll just do 3mg...

I also got a script for Prednisone and Imitrex injectable. So far, I've only used one Imitrex shot, and had two shadows, so life is good. I'm not going to use the Prednisone if I don't have to, and so far, the Verapomil is doing the trick. I couldn't be more pleased... :)

Adding magnesium oxide with each verap helps me get rid of those last small HAs ;;D and cancels out the possible constipation. If your stool gets too loose then use magnesium gluconate. That still provides the mag without the laxative effect.
