SoCalCH Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hi all, Been awhile. Had almost 7 months PF after my last cycle, which was the longest I ever suffered through. Towards the end of my last cycle I finally gave Verapamil a try. Wasn't sure to what extent it was working, as my cycle was winding down. I was also using Gabapentin before bed, as most of my attacks are at night, which seemed to help but, again, cycle was winding down. Got my first, minor, attack a couple of weeks ago and immediately ceased alcohol intake and started the Verapamil (120mg IR 3x day) and Gabapentin (300mg nighttime). Since then I have had only minor pain and have been able to exercise (2nd biggest trigger behind alcohol). I've never seen this combination discussed, so I figured I'd share. Of course, your mileage may vary. Best wishes to all of you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod H Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I have had similar experiences with the same combo of meds. Doesn't stop the cycle for me but definitely helps some cycles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCH Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 @Rod H it definitely hasn't stopped the cycle as I have some transient pain, but it's damn close when considering the alternative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
