Hello everyone,

(I decided not to do a huge search on the boards, because I didn't want to read too many horror stories/side effects, etc. I need to give my RX a chance to help.)

I've been prescribed 120mg Verapamil SR to help with PAC/PVC/Runs and Sinus Tachy.

He said this was the lowest dose but I see that there are 40 mg (but not Sustained Release)..... This is based on a general drug search I just did.

My main concern is my BP runs around 115/70 (sometimes lower) & I sometimes have Sinus Brady when asleep - I want to ensure I'm taking the lowest dose possible.

I will put a call into the MD, of course... but you guys have always been helpful & sometimes the patients know more than the MDs!!

I appreciate any info you can give me about CCBs - thanks & hope you have a great day.
