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,

From this article, it appears that it widens blood vessels.

What other medications have you tried for your chronic headaches?

Thanks for that link. I’ve tried all the preventatives, oral and injections, plus the Cefaly device, Botox and trigger point injections. . Most recent was Vyepti infusions for three years. It reduced severity but not frequency. I still get 15-20 headaches a month. So, Triptans have been the one savior. But of course, that comes with rebounds.

I have systemic lupus and remain convinced the migraines are linked. The doctors can’t tell for sure but the timing makes them believe it’s a probable connection.

Oh well in the scheme of life, this could be a lot worse and I’m grateful that I’m able to have a full active life.

Thanks again for your response.
