In reply to Verapamil Anyone? Need doseages and freqeuncy!, posted by Frustratedmama on May 27, 2009, at 12:37:41
I take verapamil SR 240mg. daily for my heart arrythmia - I have SVT and have taken it for years. I had no idea it was used for psych. purposes. So there is a long-acting. Just be sure your blood pressure is not too low, which any MD will check before prescribing.
> Ok, so I started taking the verapamil and I am noticing a slight relief (not full relief) but the problems are this.... It doesn't last long (only 4 hours at most) and it only is partially helpful (20% relief from anger which is the best I have had in a long time!). So, anyone here have experience? If so what was dose and how often did you take it....? I am taking 80 mg 2 times a day- feel it might need to be 120 4 times a day...... just guessing.......
