Yes I take 180’s twice daily and my wife takes 120 twice daily.
My wife gets approximately 15-20 migraines per month and me, well not so good. I’m migraine 24/7 and also get Botox every 3 months.
My wife also takes Sumatriptan because she is under 60 years old but I’m closing on 63 so I can’t take any type of Triptans because they are known to cause stroke in 60 and older.
I think the verapamil is for blood pressure but it helps reduce the migraine?
I’m approximately a 10 pain for majority of the month and a 7 for the remainder.

thanks for your comments.

Yes. I’ve been using Verapamil ER tablets at night to prevent migraines. I recently went from 180 to 240 tabs.

Side effects can be light headedness or a little dizziness. Ive used it for decades but as I’m aging and more unsteady on my feet, I’m eager to find an alternative.

Hello @2penelope

I see that @docb99 and @mojo244 have already responded to your post. I can understand your anxiety about starting a new medication, but it sounds like you are looking for relief and I hope that this med work
I found some information on Cleveland Clinic's website about Verapamil. Here is the link to that information,
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/20999-verapamil-tablets
From this article, it appears that it widens blood vessels.

What other medications have you tried for your chronic headaches?

I’ll add that only the extended release (ER) and only tablets (not capsules) have worked for me. I know that makes no sense, but migraines aren’t sensible.
I had to find this out by trial and error and I use only verapamil ER in tabs. You may be different but I thought it would be helpful to know there are different forms.
