Torri,
I haven't been to the board since last night, so I'm sorry I didn't get your message till now.
I don't take Verapmil, but do take Cafagot. The CafagotPB supp. did stop the pain and sometimes made me sleepy, but it was welcome at the time. Lately I've been taking Ercaf tabs and since they make me sick at my stomach, I have to take Phenergan with them and the Phen. makes me sleepy.
As to the letheragy (msp) YES, I have that also at times. I think it comes from the "aftershock" of the HA. When one does go away, I just don't want to move or talk to do anything. Just getting out of my chair is an effort.
I think Verapmil lowers your bloodpressure. Have you checked it lately. That will make you tired.
I really think you need to call your doctor and let him/her in on how you feel. You may need to regulate your dosage of Verapmil. Maybe your system won't take the dosage. But you DO need to let your doc know - immediately.
Let me know what happens.
Hugs
BD
