Has anyone had experience with Diltiazem CD 180mg Capsules (24 Hr)?

A friend of mine had to stop taking Diltiazem because of a severe dizziness issue. His doctor recommended some alternatives that worked well. It seems like everyone reacts differently to this med.

I’ve been on Diltiazem for a year and I actually think it’s better for heart rhythm than my old med. Just listen to your body and take it easy at first if you’re worried, you’ll get used to it.

I had a terrible time with this drug. It caused really bad skin rashes and I had to go to the ER. I'm not sure if it was an allergic reaction or something else, but it was bad. I was lucky enough to get something else that worked well for me.

Seriously? Diltiazem is a big no for me. I had some bad reactions, like severe dizziness and a really slow heartbeat. I switched to another med and I'm much better now.

Thanks for the heads-up about the severe reactions. I didn’t know about the potential liver issues.

Did anyone have trouble with insurance covering this? I'm wondering if there's a generic version that's cheaper.

I started Diltiazem and it actually helped control my irregular heartbeat. I had some dizziness at first but it went away after a few weeks. Just make sure you take it regularly at the same time every day.

I found a great app called Medscape that helps track my meds and potential interactions. It's been really helpful for managing my Diltiazem and other prescriptions. I also make sure to monitor my blood pressure daily. The ups and downs can be drastic, so daily monitoring is key.

My doctor suggested switching to a lower dose if I experience side effects. Has anyone tried that? It’s worth trying before giving up on the medication entirely.

I've been on Diltiazem for a while now and it's been a game-changer for my hypertension. Just make sure to take it at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level in your system.
