> Have you tried any other calcium channel blockers such as nimodipine? Many people who get side effects from verapamil can tolerate other calcium channel blockers. Alternatively, you could consider taking verapamil in combination with additional medication to raise your blood pressure.
>No other CCB's gave me the same mood beneficial effects, bizarrely enough. Moreover, I have a heart murmur, which apparently was aggravated by Verapamil, although my doc said this side effect was quite rare. I'm still trying to figure out the mystery of it all.
Happy day to all!
