Hmm, I was prescribed Verapamil (calcium channel blocker, also a blood pressure medication), and they helped reduce the severity of my migraines with aura for a while. I eventually went off it, and haven't had near as many since. Early twenties was so awful for those migraines.


Did you find Verapamil had any mood altering or cognitive properties for you? I take it for migraines. I think it makes me a little more emotionally stable but a tiny bit slower cognitively, especially in the mornings. It's a good trade off, especially in light of how it basically stopped my migraines, but it's one I have perceived.
