Is there a withdrawal from verapamil. i was on 120mg er twice daily. i stopped cold turkey. i was using for migraines but it stopped working for me.

Don't worry: Usually there is no withdrawal. You should be ok but we don't recommend stopping medications without consulting you prescribing doctor. At least they can monitor you and are aware of this.
