User Reviews for diltiazem oral

Seems to make me tired with low energy.

so far, good. I was on atenolol and it made me gain some weight, was sleepy,lousy dreams. so we switched to this medication and it is better.

I have aterial flutter with a 120 and up heart rate. I was put on this to lower the rate. It has not done anything using 240mgs per day. I have stomach problems and edema in my hand and feet.

I was on diltiazem 180 er when I lived in California it made me feel good again, but when I moved back to Alabama the doctors changed all my meds concerning my blood pressure and such, I have felt bad ever since going to tell the doctor that I want to be put back on it.

Severe heart pounding avoided - still pronounced ongoing thumpming

The generic tablets such as Matzim and Diltiazem work well. The oblong green capsules do not work the same as the tablets. They react in a different way and wear off, as described to me by my doctor. My Dr. advised me to never use generic. However, my insurance will only cover generic.

I have variant angina and a high resting pulse - no artery congestion. This works in definitely lowers by pulse and has avoided angina attacks, especially when stressed. However despite a careful diet i have inexorably put weight on - now about a stone (14lb in just under a year. Also swelling of ankles and awful foot pain in hot weather (NEVER had this before), some fluid retention in hands, knees and feet, painful joints, weak muscles (carrying shopping and opening jars etc really notice it) and low grade gingivitis. Would appreciate knowing if others have found the same - maybe I need a review but at least I've been free of the angina...Read More Read Less

I have been on Diltizam for over 15 years. Have been on it for severe migraine treatments. Could not use beta blockers. Would get high B/P readings when going thru 3 or more days of migraine bouts, using this med has decreased those readings really well. It has saved my life in many respects over these years.The only really bad side effects are dry mouth, eyes and nose. And some dizziness. Lowering dosage has helped some in these side effects.

is this medication in generic form?K

My heart races. This medication works well for me.

Only drug that I could take - needed secondary medication to prevent body override

Used to control heart rate, I have multiple episodes of racing heart rate with skipping. I have notice fatigue, constipation. Have been taking for a week. Will update after taking for longer period. Used Atenolol previously to no affect.

I use it to keep heart rate low. Since Mitral Valve replacement I have experienced several episodes of tachycardias where normal hb is 60 a minute going to 130. I panic when this happens as the rapid hb can go for 30 minutes to 24 hrs. Not knowing the duration is the issue. I use it with Metropol but not a 100% fix. I have had several ablations to fix the circuitary for rapid heart beat but every ablation seems to find a new path for the circuitary.

I was put on this after being diagnose with Atrial Fibrillation. Luckily, my episodes seemed to be occasional. This drug made me feel excessively tired all the time and I could feel my heart beating in my chest. Hope I never have to take it again.

this drug caused extreme rash and itching all over my body
