Hi Jamy. I suppose a large percentage of Docs,especially ER docs, lump the real sufferers in the drug addict category much to our disadvantage. I can all to well relate. I had to persue them with med records, confrontational approaches, you name it!
I am not that familiar with your case history or treatment options;therefor, I will tell you what works for me : 360 mgs of verapamil SR, Elavil, and Serzone. But VP SR has been the best treatment
for me. I had to work with my doc to establish the correct dosage of Verapamil When we increased the verapamil to 360mgs, Bingo!
If you have tried VP, I am sorry it did not work for you.
On this site there is a list of Patient assistance Programs. Try a search. I will also.
Take Care, DC
