Title: Depakote and Verapamil
Post by gusher on Sep 15^th, 2004, 8:56pm

Ladies and Gents,

Just started taking Verapamil late last week and it seems to have broken my current cycle. I am also taking Depakote and have been for the last month trying to abort the cycle. Wondering if I need to keep on taking the Depakote as the Verapamil seems to be the stopper. Any ideas??

Thank you.

Be well,
Greg...

Hey----

I'm a wife of a CH and he's tried depakote and it did work for one cycle....didn't work the next one though. He also takes heavy doses of verapamil everyday all of the time......neuro says it should ward ch off but also help with the blood pressure. Didn't work this time but we did have a long period between cycles with the verapimil. Ask your dr before you stop either......take care and I hope the meds work....

Hi Greg,

My advice: Never take more meds than you have to... why risk the potential adverse effects?

I'm glad you found something that works.
