I take 480mg. of Verapamil a day. The only side effect that I've noticed is constipation, which disappears if you drink prune juice or eat prunes with every meal. Fresh plums work just as well, but they can be hard to find and/or very expensive, if you live in the wrong part of the country.
In general, I've been getting three to five cluster attacks a day. But, since I've been taking the Veps, the attacks never last more than a half-hour and the level of pain is merely annoying - about like a hangover, instead of if-you-haven't-felt-it-then-there's-no-way-to-describe-it-to-you horrible.
