Check your information leaflet which comes in the box with the tablets. It may say something under side effects.

Thank you for your helpful reply, but I’m interested in how others may have been effected by Verapamil. I find information from people that are actually taking it to be more helpful (intolerances)

No, not at all - I just read it too quickly initially. x

I took it for about five years without weight gain. My only side effect from it was constipation.

For the first few week it was summer heat seemed to affect me more than usual. Also keep an eye on your heart rate as it can slow it down.

I was taking Securon a slow release version that for some reason suited me more than other versions I was at times given.
