I just found this site 10/19.
My CH started 27 yrs. ago - tried every drug imaginable!
CH would last about 6 mos. then they would decide to leave.
(never had tried Verapamil).
Started Verapamil in March 1995 - 240mg - I was ok
until March 1997. My neuro upped me to
360mg (2 at night 1 in a.m.) -
Oct. 3, '98 got hit again at 2:00am. 3-5 episodes
per night/day - I just saw my neuro on 10/20
he upped the verapamil to 480mg and I'm feeling better,
a little shadow still there. I was worried the last few days about upping
the verapamil due to my already low blood pressure, but feel better
now having read your postings. Neuro also presribed for me
Depakote - I won't take it due to serious side effects.
My heartfelt sympathy for all who suffer from CH.
