Claudette:
I started on 120 mgs. verapamil, too. It didn't do a thing, then one week later my doctor told me to double the dose to 240mgs. per day. I did that for one whole week and nothing happened. I was just about to get discouraged, when the verapamil finally started working!!! I've gone 3 full days with no CH (usually got 3 per night!). So, I suggest asking your doctor about doubling your dose, then stick with it another 10 days before you try something else. It does take time to build up in your system. But what a relief when it finally kicks in. Good luck!
