Thanks Jon much appreciated. Looking at the bottle they say "Verapamil 240MG ER Tab GLEN - Generic for CALAN SR.
So that ER probably does mean they are extended release, yeah? Should I break them in half or crush them up? Not recomennding to do anything silly with them, but perhaps if I chewed it instead of swallow, would it hit me quicker?
Yup...those be "extended release". And NO NO NO...a THOUSAND times NO! Do NOT screw with medicine instructions....I am a professional patient...but I aint no damn Doc. These work for some...and if they don't...a higher dose of immediate release is damn skippy worth a try. Get thee an "headache specialist" ...they will know FAR more than I...
And thanks for the heads up as far as not expecting anything immediate. I have 30 of these bad boys so we'll see if I notice anything.. Not sure if I'll be going in for a ECG beforehand, but I'll keep mind of my heart over the next few, for sure. I hear if that goes, I go too!
There aint a clusterhead alive who doesn't want this shit to STOP NOW! We get it! But...this could be a long slog...hope for the best...prepare for the worst (and we can help with that )
ps. We oughta meet up at the cabin one day! I also believe that paddling is the best form of non-motor travel! Have you ever done any whitewater?
Pete...my brother (and me)...would like that...but I'm kinda limited these days. No whitewater...it was a dream. Best memories with a paddle:
once passed a group of kayakers on the beach...about 30!...we circled around until we figured: a celebration of life for a friend passed. Didn't know who...but I almost cried...great send off for a friend!!
...another time...middle of a lake....it started to rain...only the drops were 10' apart....PLOP......PLOP.....PLOP.....PLOP. It was hilarious. I'm from Seattle...the rain is like a mist...you DON'T hear individual drops....bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Best
Jon
