I was placed on Cardizem LA a few months ago and am only 26 years old. I have lupus and a blood disorder that causes issues with my heart, blood pressure, stickiness of my blood and many other things. After one week of using this drug my blood pressure went from 140/90 to 110/70, I like this medication but I'm not worried because I am six weeks pregnant. There is not any information concerning studies done on pregnant women taking Cardizem. I would really like to hear from anyone who was pregnant taking this drug, and the side effects it did or did not cause.

I took Cardizem LA for a month and gradually spiralled toward - generally felt bad, headaches, confusion, depression. Then a total melt-down ending in uncontrollable tears. Doctor stopped it and I returned to normal in 3 days. But there was a really amazing side effect. Although not a nervous person at all, I am an habitual nail-biter. When taking Cardizem LA I stopped biting my fingernails and had the most beautiful, strongest nails imaginable. When it cleared my system, I went back to my old habit despite my efforts not to. I wonder if this has happened to anyone else. But I must add that I seem to be particularly sensitive to medications even those that cause no problems for others. Finally got my blood pressure under control with Atenolol.
