The Verapamil dosage I had immediate success with was 240mg slow release per day (1 tablet). The brand name of it was Securon SR. I have recently reduced my dosage to 120mg a day but it is too early to comment on my progress with this lower dosage.
I take the Verapamil before my breakfast every morning and try to drink plenty of water during the day. As I have mentioned in an earlier post (on the 26th Feb), I have never taken an abortive treatment for clusters and I feel this might possibly (and I must stress possibly!) be a reason for its success. However, I most probably just been just been lucky to get such immediate benefit from this drug.
As I have had such immediate success with Verapamil I am probably not the best person to ask about it. Of course, I will try answering any questions you may have on it, but I know that that “Drummer” has been on all sorts of dosages of this drug with high and low success rates. I feel sure he will be pleased to share his knowledge with you.
Best Wishes
