We have just returned from seeing Dr. Wigle in Toronto, and he is changing my husbands meds. He is stopping the verapamil but adding norpace.(he also is on atenelol) Just wondering if anyone has had any side effects with this med ? Also, has anyone had their gradient reduced with this med? Thanks for any help

Re: norpace
Hi,
The stats are good on Norpace reducing gradient and there are many HCMers on Norpace. (I don't remember the exact numbers right now.)
I was on Norpace for ten years and the most annoying side effect was the occaisional cotton mouth (dry mouth). Sucking on sugar-free candy can help with that, but mine was usually short-lived and tolerable. I think it made me have to go to the bathroom more often as well, too (liquid side, not solid side).
It worked really well for me and you should see some improvement.
good luck,
S

Re: norpace
Hi I have been recently put on the norpace 150 mg twice a day. I have not been having good luck with it. It has been making me dizzy and given me cluster headaches. They also took me off the verapamil. I am in regular rthyhm with my heart but it's not worth it to me if I'm going to be in this pain.

Re: norpace
I also was put on Norpace but only 2 x 100mg/day. The only side affect I had was bad head aches.Most of the day, every day. After 2 weeks the doc told me to stop it. But don't forget every person is different and will react different to medication.
Take care,
Fred
