Title: Neuros..
Post by ChalZ on Oct 7^th, 2004, 1:31pm

Hi There -

Im new to my cluster diagnosis, but do not feel my neuro is responsive enough in treating this. He put me on verapamill (sp?) at 120 mg/day. So far, this has not done anything.

Im looking for a recommendation from a CH sufferer for a good neuro. I dont care if I have to travel out of state to see him/her. Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Chalise :)

Go to the OUCH web site and look up one of the Docs in there. That is how I found my neuro and he rocks!

Hi,

120 mg verapamil is a very low dose but dont increase the dose without doc's advise.

It takes about 1 to 2 weeks before it works. It should be taken during the entire cycle up until a few weeks after the last attack.
