About to start verapamil...& already nervous!

bren1985
Good luck with the Verapamil I know it has helped quite a few people - haven’t tried it myself but did get get ‘locked in’ to the rebound headache situation taking abortives & OTC meds which, as I found out, just kept the severe headaches rebounding on & on… Have you read ‘Heal your Headache’ by Dr David Buchholz. He and most of the MAV specialists recommend stopping all painkillers to stop the daily headaches. It’s hard, & I can speak from my own experience, but did work for me. The book is available on Amazon & definitely worth reading. Increasing the water & fibre is good & my specialist recommended an osmotic laxative if constipation is a problem with the meds. Hope this helps.
