Can Verapamil-ER Be Taken During Pregnancy?

Neurologist Q: I currently take verapamil ER 120 as a maintenance medication to prevent migraines. However my reproductive specialist doctor says I shouldn t take it while pregnant and so we haven t started IUI Tx yet. How do I get off this medication? I can no longer see the doctor who originally prescribed it so I will have to ask my PCP to manage the process. Thank you! - Renee
