diltiazem
Diltiazem controls high blood pressure and chest pain (angina) but does not cure them. It may take up to 2 weeks before you feel the full benefit of diltiazem. Continue to take diltiazem even if you feel well.

diltiazem
I was on Diltiazem 120mg for 2 weeks to see how it worked for heart paliptations and high pulse.

I knew within days it was doing nothing for me, my pulse was high and although I did not feel individual heart beats I felt a constant buzz.

When I stopped the pills it was 2 days later when this buzz sensation worsened and I felt like my entire body was trembling. I went back to taking Atenolol which lowered my pulse. I was so scared I went to a walk in clinic, they listened to my heart and said nothing was wrong and told me to continue the Atenolol. A day later my heart felt normal again.

It's now 5 days later and I'm experiencing the same horrible accelerated/buzzing heart. I'm going insane.

Is this a normal reaction? Is my body just going through withdrawl or what? Anyone had similar experiences?
