> No other CCB's gave me the same mood beneficial effects, bizarrely enough. Moreover, I have a heart murmur, which apparently was aggravated by Verapamil, although my doc said this side effect was quite rare. I'm still trying to figure out the mystery of it all.

> doveDid you ever get any tremor or muscle weakness when you took verapamil? I get beneficial effects by taking some verapamil (when I'm in an angry or mixed state), but my muscles feel "springy" and weak, and I feel "shaky" but I'm not nervous. I also had one experience with verapamil where I felt this intense agitation and sense of doom and within a couple of hours of taking it (no other meds at the same time), everything just "cleared up" and the doom went away-very weird experience.
