I've recently been prescribed Diltiazem 60mg Tablets for high blood pressure and chest pain. I've read the possible side effects, but I want to hear from others who have taken this medication. How long did it take for the side effects to subside? What tips do you have for managing them?

I've been on this medication for a while and it's been great for my hypertension. Just make sure to stay hydrated, it can cause some dehydration if you're not careful. I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

I’ve only been on this for a week and I’m already feeling very weak. Should I be concerned, or is this just part of the initial adjustment period? anyone have any advice?

A friend of mine took this and had a severe skin reaction. It was scary. Make sure to keep an eye out for any skin irritation and if you notice something get help.

I've been on Diltiazem for a few months now. The dizziness was tough at first, but it got better after a couple of weeks. Just take it easy when you start and you should be fine.

I had no idea Diltiazem could cause liver problems. I already have some liver issues and was worried about how it would affect my health. Good thing I did some research before taking it.

I take mine with food and it seems to help with the stomach upset. Might be worth a try if you're having issues. Also, my doctor told me to avoid grapefruit juice – it can interact with the medication.

Sad to hear about all the side effects. Do you think this would work for someone with chronic fatigue like me? Or would it make it worse?
