Is anyone on Verapamil?? I've taken a half for about a week. I've noticed it's hard to even get out of bed. I'm so tired. Also.. Dizzy spells ia it from the meds or conditions?

Hi there, if you have started taking a new drug and you are feeling different then it is almost certainly the medication. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. It lowers your blood pressure...and it sounds like it is probably doing this a bit too much for you, causing tiredness and dizziness. I would go back to the Dr and tell him the problems you are having.

all my best

Thanks Lucy, I'm currently not taking anything until I see my rhem doc again. So far my body cannot handle any of these meds. Not sure what I'm gonna do.ugh
