Karen,I take verapamil 80 mg 3x/daily for migraine prevention. It seems to lessen the frequency and severity of my migraine symptoms. (I have more 'complicated migraine' symptoms than pain.)
The neuro who dx'd me and prescribed it said that it will only work this way, not as the extended release form. I've heard the same said for verapamil for mood stabilizing.
One negative side effect of it for me is that it does dampen the intensity of my feelings. But if your moods need dampening, why not try it out? It's cheap, and available in a generic.
