I started taking Verapamil with this last cycle and was started on 240mg with prednisone. We didn't see a huge change in the cycle, so the doc said it wasn't working and told me to stop taking it. The following week was the week from hell and the only thing I could attribute it to was going off the Verapamil. I called the doc back and TOLD him that I was increasing the dosage by half and if that didn't work I was going to double it. ( I felt comfortable saying this cause of all the help from this site!) He said to go ahead...it wasn't going to hurt anything. The last two weeks have been good and am now starting to taper all the meds to see if the end is here. Try upping the dosage and see if it improves. In my case it was wonderful. Wishing you pain free days and nights!
