> Actually my sister who has a very mild form of bipolar has successfully taken verapamil for over 10 years. So I definitely thinks it's worth a try (although it didn't work for my bipolar 1 disorder) Good luck!- judy
Thanks.
I've reached the mild stage with my current meds,
I'm at 1200 mg Lithobid CR and 150 Mg Lamictal.
My lithium blood levels are only 0.6 and we don't
know if bumbing the dose will get me to the antimanic
range (1+) before I hit the Lithobid CR limit.I may hope that the Verapamil has a calming effect
and also helps with headaches too.Regards,
John
