A member asked:
I've heard that amlodipine is far better than verapamil for migraine. any headache/neuro doctor have an opinion on this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Meds: Both medications are calcium channel blockers. Verapamil has been the traditional drug for migraines. I am sure that there are people who have better response to amlodipine. However, I am unaware of any medical literature advocating one over the other.
