Verapamil - my wonder drug!

Recently started Verapamil - my doctor has the feeling that my migraines are being caused by stress-induced cluster-headaches. So I'm taking 40mg Verapamil three times daily alongside Sumatriptan (should I have a migraine) and a week in the results have been astounding. I've had one headache since taking the tablets and coming off Propranolol and that was due to visiting my daughter and stifling tears for several hours so as not to upset her. Has anybody else had any experience of Verapamil?

I was taking it for several months but sadly no change in migraines.

Great to hear it works! Just a gentle caution - these calcium channel blockers are often inconsistent and sometimes gradually the benefits wear out , I certainly do hope it continues to be effective for you though!
