I have been taking brand cardizem for 5 years. had symptoms of side effects but didn't know why and doctor always dismissed it.. Have constant low potassium eventhough i take potassium twice daily. My legs will cramp my feet ane toes will cramp... i have dizziness, weak arms and legs. I have unexplained problems...I was in er today and i questioned if the cardizem could be dropping my potasium and i am always told no.. Today i decided to help myself and reserch cardizem and hypokalemia, and BINGO i found that many patients experinece potassium depression that take cardizem.. i'm going to ask my doctor to take me off and put me on something else. Its hard to find at the pharmacy now anyway;.. Has it been recalled?

Was on Cardizem for two years after trying countless other drugs, so happy to find it. BUT after two years on I devolved horrible led pain, trying removing other drugs on at a time even went off chemo for a while. Stopped the Cardizem and it went away in 4 days. Cardio MD just would not accept it, had to change cardio MD. Im sure its the chemo reacting with the Cardizem but I had to choose one drug, chemo was more important. Ace inhibitor works good so far. Maybe after two years I will have to change again. Good drug but not for me..

August of 2013 during a stress test, which can damn near kill you, I manifested AFib. They gave me 3 Bystolic tabs to calm that down and then put me on Lisinopril. Too many side effects. I also have Bradycardia along with the AFib. Also am the proud owner of a pacemaker to control Bradycardia. I've been on Lisinopril, Metoprolol, which was a disaster, and Flecainide which works and now Diltiazem. I take Flecainide twice a day and Diltiazem 120 once a day at night. Last Sun. I experienced the worst vertigo I've ever had when I got up in the morning. Also total body sweating and nausea causing me to throw up. I've also been tired a lot. I thought I was having a heart attack. Went back to bed, of course, slept for 2 hours, got up and felt fine. Called cardiologist next day with symptoms and he thought I was dehydrated from working outside most of the day. I had consumed 2 liters of water on Sat, hmmmmmm. Does he not know the side effects of Diltiazem I had 4 of the 8 side effects. How many more do I need. Woke up this morning, the first Fri. after last Sun.,at 2:30 with vertigo and nausea. I don't think I can keep this cycle up for long. I get an interrogation on my pacemaker in 3 weeks so I'll see what happens til then. I've been on Diltiazem about 6 weeks. Had no symptoms on the 3X a day dosage but now on once a day, curious.

Comment from: Cathy 55-64 Female 10 years or more Patient Published: January 11

I have taken cardizem for years and as Iâ??ve aged it is not processed through liver as well. I have developed liver damage and the doctors are thinking it could be from long term use of diltiazem and other drugs prescribed.. I developed very low blood pressure and was having extremely irregular heartbeats, edema, heavy pulsating in my neck and pressure building in my neck and head...I have always been fatigued and tired and chalked it up to my blood pressure drugs... Dr. immediately took me off of diltiazem for hypotension.. I feel like a new person. I have energy, the edema is slowly dissapating, the pulsating in my neck and head pressure is totally gone.. I have actually slept better since Iâ??ve been taken off of this drug. I just think that because I have taken this drug for years and my Body has aged that it canâ??t process this drug though my liver anymore and because I have liver disease... it worked for me when I was younger, but had side effects that I wasnâ??t aware of that were most likely from diltiazem.

I have been taking this medication since June 2017, and it has helped but I still have some rapid beat events of which I have to go to the ER for adenosine. My current issue is that I am having practically all of the side effects listed. I just want to feel like myself again so I will continue to take this medication just to not have as many episodes that lands me in the ER.

Extreme initial dizziness sent me back to ER"You'll adjust." instead, extreme fatigue, some balance disturbance WORST: probably inappropriate for condition: I was NOT experiencing angina, BP was not "elevated" but yo-yoing: 40 bpm to 120 bpm; back down, back up etc. Wait TWO MONTHS for Holder evaluation? On this stuff?

I take 120 mg at bedtime each day to treat high blood pressure, which is now under control. The reason I take it at bed-time is that I feel faint after I take is. In the mornings, I am light-headed and feel faint until about noon. It is way better than the Ace Inhibitors and the Valsartan I was taking previously, so for now I can put up with the lightheadedness.

My doctor has me on cardizem and Rythmol for Atrial Fib. It has worked well but the side effects from the cardizem is awful. I have leg swelling and my legs feel heavy. Have a lot of joint and muscle pain. I am going to talk to my doctor to change the med. Too much pain.

This was used in ER in liquid form to lower the rapid heart beat. Now on the pill and so far in five months I have had one lower intensity attack.

I have been taking this medication since June 2017, and it has helped but I still have some rapid beat events of which I have to go to the ER for adenosine. My current issue is that I am having practically all of the side effects listed. I just want to feel like myself again so I will continue to take this medication just to not have as many episodes that lands me in the ER.

Extreme initial dizziness sent me back to ER"You'll adjust." instead, extreme fatigue, some balance disturbance WORST: probably inappropriate for condition: I was NOT experiencing angina, BP was not "elevated" but yo-yoing: 40 bpm to 120 bpm; back down, back up etc. Wait TWO MONTHS for Holder evaluation? On this stuff?

I take 120 mg at bedtime each day to treat high blood pressure, which is now under control. The reason I take it at bed-time is that I feel faint after I take is. In the mornings, I am light-headed and feel faint until about noon. It is way better than the Ace Inhibitors and the Valsartan I was taking previously, so for now I can put up with the lightheadedness.

feet 3 x normal size, bruising everywhere on my body, abnormal rash on my penis causing bleeding, being heart transplant patient one would think doctors would look at interactions a bit more closely, asahme medical care has gotten this bad

This medicine made me check into the ER due to dropping my heart rate too low. I had very bad bout with weakness, feeling faint, lighthead ness , nausea, off balance, vertigo for the off balance, shortness of breath and so on. Remember that only God knows all and if you are having an issue with your medicine alert to Dr to get it changed
