User Reviews for diltiazem oral

I have taken this medication, diltiazem 40 mg, for 3 years with very little side effects. On the last refill I was given pills manufactured by a different company. I have taken these new pills for only 4 days and my fibrillation has returned, I have sever dizzy spells and very odd dreams.

I had pain in my leg muscles, could not walk. I already have severe acid reflux and this made it worse. I was so angry all the time I was mean and nasty to everyone. Felt terrible the whole 11 days I was on it!!!

Seems to be working ok for me. But I wish it would lower my blood pressure more.

Dr. Said that 120mg was the lowest there was. I was feeling light headed . I am elderly and asked for a lower dose. He said 120 was the lowest. He lied.

Changed from Beta blocker because it simply didn't work. Took Diltiazem HCI 180 1x a day. Started in August and it helped lower my blood pressure but started noticing right knee pain with no injury to it and I felt nervous most of the time. Took med for two months knee started to swell and was having finger and toe pain that woke me up in the night. Have been off the meds for two weeks, finger and toe pain is gone but still having trouble with knee. NEVER TAKING AGAIN.

Not working on controlling my afib or bp. Makes me depressed and very tiref

Having constant muscle and cramping of muscles. Dr. has been going tons of testing trying to figure out what is wrong with me. Finally I am going off medication. Up all night with cramping and muscle aches. Very expensive medicine where I purchase it.

I'm a female, 57yrs old, been taking diltiazem for 2yrs. I have developed hair loss and severe alopecia. Recalling these 2yrs, I have started to notice that a long the way I have been feeling, continued headaches, neck stiffness, feeling of swollen legs and hands, and for the lástima 9 months the alopecia. Went to the endocrinologist thinking it could be my thyroid, since I'm hypo, but all thyroid test came back ok. Also this doctors and other doctors, have told me the alopecia is due to stress. I quit my Job thinking it was afecting me, even went to a psychologist, went to a dermatologist (injected me for 7 months) and I still have the alopecia (big bald spot on the back of my scalp and on the sides), no job, no stress, whatsoever, I live a peaceful life, and I'm still at point A. My belief? The diltiazem, I'm allergic to this damn pill or I be a low percent of the population taking this med that gets hair loss and alopecia. Has anyone Liver the same experience. For doctors It's very easy not to investigate and say It's just stress. Read More Read Less

Took this drug after switching from another BP med due to ED issues. With in four days I had muscle and joint point in my right arm that was unbearable. The pain subsided after several hours. Continued to have pain the second day that left me with weakened right arm. I have mild hypertension and have elected to go off meds. I work out five days a week and am going to try to avoid medications. This was a terrible experience and the Dr knew very little about the drug,

I have experienced ringing in the ear and diariha

great at controling blood pressure but had horrible side effect. I was losing all my hair. It was like being on chemo. I have been off of it now 2 months and all my hair is coming back. I was on it 6 months.

This med has worked great for me it took about 2 months and my bp and heart rate is normal now.I was on Toprol for about a year and thought I was going to DIE ,Stayed sick all the time,with flu like symptoms,and this med is very cheap.

I am taking this for my irregular heartbeat and blood pressure. I love the cardizem diltiazem the best. It works so great! I am not as tired from using this medicine as it helps control my heart rate.

Makes me very sleepy and has given me mucoid diarrhea without stomach cramps do no warning -calling doctor for help

extreme swelling of legs and feet

Side effects, swelling feet and ankles, lethargy, lower blood pressure.

I was taking Norvasc but new doc changed the med to Diltiazem 120mg. BP has gone up 20 points after a month, heart rate has dropped to mid 50's. Pounding head ache every day, today first day no headache. Doc dismissed side effect, saying no other patient has reported headache. Doc stated that elevated BP is good with left ventricular block (huh?)Still on it, monitoring BP almost daily. Hate to do it but may change doc since she doesn't seem to be listening to me.

Effective with few side effects. Makes me feel tired, but take 360mgs at night. Overall, the fatigue is manageable.
