User Reviews for diltiazem oral

Took this medication for 2 days. Legs felt very weak, like rubber. Had the shakes and felt like crap. All I wanted to do was lay down I felt so crappy!

Took one dose of 120 mg and blood pressure went up by 30 units. I became extremely jittery and hyper. Couldn't drive. Horrible experience.

This did absolutely nothing for my high blood pressure or my heart rate.

It works very well , I had to quit taking due to insurance changes last year. I immediately started having heart rate issues again, Started the medication again and I have not had any issues at all since,

It makes me extremely tired...

Sometimes I feel like something crawling through my skin.

Started with 120 mugs. now down to 60 mugs. At first it felt like I had brain fog. Couldn't think. Tired all the time. Cutting the dosage helped. Now I'm tired half the time and thinking is more or less back to normal. Hard to tell when symptoms last for months. I forget was normal was like.

Felt great before taking diltiazem. Then had chest pressure, increased tremors , weakness, nervous probems including adverse reaction to loud sounds, panic attacks. Dr said stop taking it. A disaster for me.

Fibrillation is very much improved and I'm much less anxious I'm remembering dreams which are listed as side effects in the literature and they are very pleasant.

Made me itchy, achy, rash. Moody,depressed. My Dr. stopped it immediately.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and this drug seemed to make my legs feet and hands swell so much it was really painful. I was put on this for suspected angina but then told fibromyalgia was causing heart spasms. I'm stopping it as the Australian summer coming in makes me swell up so this on top of that would be unbearable. I have nitro dura patches and nitrolingual under tongue spray and do not have high BP so I do not think I need this hassle with swelling by this drug too. If it works for you though please use it.

Currently experiencing AFib or Aflutter and speeding heart rate 120bpm

After a stress test, up my dosage from 180 to 240. Have been constipated on this medication. Giving it a little more time, because I can't live with that.

I have mild tachycardia and was prescribed this after Beta blockers eventually killed erectile function after years of taking those. Initially switch to an ACE inhibitor and the blood pressure was fine but the resting heart rate was too high, however, erectile dysfunction ceased and all worked normally again. Was switched to this calcium channel blocker and immediately, it killed my erectile function - dead. Got Cialis as a supplement, it still doesn't work. Will very likely stop this medication - there has to be something better, this has killed my sex life. Read More Read Less

Medication keeps my heart rate low and my BP low but the side effects still linger. Muscles, joints aches and cramps. Have a little pressure headache on the left side of temple. Not severe ache but you can tell its there. Like a dull ache in the head. Happens at least once or twice a day since on the medication for almost 2 months. I was off of it for a few days to try another medication and I didn't have the aches and cramps but had an allergic reaction to the other medication (NIFEDIPINE). Went back on Diltiazem because they changed the dose to 1 cap a day instead of 1 cap twice a day and they up my dose to 240mg since im taking it once a day. I was taking 180mg twice a day 24 HR extended release so the doctor was guessing that my side effects were severe because I was taking too much of it and changing it may reduce a little. My face use to flush and tingle as well when taking it twice a day but that hasn't happened since I am taking it once a day just dealing with other side effects. It works great but don't like feeling the way I do. Wondering how much longer will I deal with the side effects? Read More Read Less
