I was on Half Inderal. L.A. 80cg for nine years had to come off this for breathing difficulties, just been put on verapamil 40mcg 3 times daily only been on it one week, still very fast heart rate, also do you know iff this medication makes you gain wait? Thanks for any responses.

i have been on verapamil 240mg for a while. while it does make me a little tired i really haven't had any side effects. i think if you felt better on the lower dose, trying the dig might be worth it. i too have a rapid heart rate and take inderal/verapamil for it. while it does make me feel tired it has brought my pulse down. i like the inderal which i have been on for 30yrs because it also calms you down. all in all, i would ? going on inderal or if your dr really wants the dig i'd give it a try. the only thing is you have to have your blood levels checked every so often. by the waqy i'm a nurse so i see all of these drugs used frequently. good luck
