Yes I am a 20 year old with high blood pressure - I know terrible. Anyway my doctor gave me this and I took it for 10 days threw the rest away in the trash where it belongs. I have anxiety and this drug messed with my heart and made me freak out. It felt like my heart slowed down but beat harder if that makes sense. I woke up in the AM cold, my feet and hards were freezing. Rediculous exhaustion, felt like I was given a tranquilizer. Guess you don't have to worry about high BP if you're comatose. | M | 20 | 10 days 180 1X day | 4/17/2018 | 1 | Prescribed by MD | NIght terror, nightmares, weight gain, swelling, inability to sleep, vision loss, tremor, DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG EVER!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, counter indicated with Latuda, which I start a few months ago. (Raises the serum levels of Latuda.) Had to switch to amilopine (sp?) and I have a lot of side effects with this new drug.

I ceased Cardizem about 1 week ago and my conditioned improved immediately but still some burning and pain. | My doctor didn't know Cardizem caused epigastric pain until she checked her drug manual. Thank goodness I looked it up and suggested to my dr that I was sure this was the cause of my problem. It may help to lower BP but who wants gastric ulcers? | F | 60 | 18 months 30mg 1X day | 12/20/2011 | 3 | AFIB | When I first started, ringing in ears, hot flashes/flushed. Tired all the time. Basic walking and tasks a chore, just beyond tired. Makes driving hard, maybe because I feel dizzy and out of it. Hoping it gets better.

CARDIZEM (DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE): Diltiazem is used to prevent chest pain (angina). It may help to increase your ability to exercise and decrease how often you may get angina attacks. Diltiazem is called a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing blood vessels in the body and heart and lowers the heart rate. Blood can flow more easily and your heart works less hard to pump blood. FDA Approval Date: 1986-12-08 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
