I got a prescription for diltiazem 2% yesterday. The prescription reads that I should be using one inch of the stuff three times a day.
Other people on these boards have been using a pea sized amount 2/day. I tried this and I seem to be having both positive effects and side effects. (I'm slightly dizzy and fuzzy headed, and I don't have a lot of energy.)
Does anyone have a prescription for this much cream? Maybe other people's cream is compounded for more than 2%?
Please lend me some insight. I think this doctor is COMPLETELY clueless. He also really botched putting me on Nitro, saying that it wouldn't cause migraines when everyone and your mother will tell you the stuff does cause migraines. And he keeps "threatening" me with surgery, warning me that I might be incontinent for the rest of my life and that surgery is the last thing I want, even if the pain I'm in is debilitating. Yes, I'm getting a new doctor, but I feel like I might need to write a letter or something while I do so, in the hopes that he won't do this to the next poor soul who comes to him with this problem.
