I don't think I've ever heard of verapamil producing hair loss. (I'm on 960mg per day and have to go to the barbers later!)
Seriously, verapamil is supposed to be extremely safe, and you are on a relatively low dose. People have been on high doses (480mg is the normal recommended max, but there are many here taking well over that) for very many years.
I think looking into other possible causes might be in order - maybe there's an interaction going on here.
I certainly wouldn't worry about it, that tends to produce hair loss.
