Hi Vince,
Just like you I wass on 240 mg verapamil. worked for some weeks and then the attacks boke through.
I followed the advise from some people here (DocGreg) who told me to raise the dose to 480mg and started with the slow release version.
It worked. Shadows are still there but the real attacks are rare and not to severe (one yesterday after days of nothing at all). Only problem is obstipation, but I have a miracledrug for that to: plums! Really works, both the dried and the fresh ones! Just eat them with and inbetween meals, about 12 to 15 a day.
Goodluck, hang in there!! Wishing you painfree days, Rob.
