Does anybody have any experience with verapamil for treatment of cluster headaches? I have suffered with them for 15 years untill my doctor gave me verapamil to prevent them. Now it seems the first day I start taking it my headaches go away. Just wondering if anybody else has had similar results especially in such a short time frame

no, but as a nurse, I have heard of that type of situation before. In some people, medications works different (faster, slower, longer, shorter) At least it works for you :)

Yes, I have been treated for my combination migraine/cluster headaches with many products over the years. It does appear that the calcium channel blockers like Verapamil dose aid in the reduction of these painful events. Oh, did you know Verapamil and it's class of drugs were developed to treat hypertension?
