I've never taken verapamil but have asked the same "drugs causing cycle to last longer" questions. I take Sansert and Prednisone. I'm a episodic sufferer and the drugs don't eliminate,but they do minimize the number of attacks. I've wondered in the past if these drugs actually lengthen the cycle. It seems in the old days when I was a college student that couldn't afford squat for medical treatment,(let alone not knowing what I had was CH),the attacks would be daily but entire cycle only last a month or so. Now I guess the average cycle while on the drugs is 4 months.
