Susan,
Oh, I'm also on an SSRI, Zoloft, alternating between 25 mgs and 50 mgs (I'm a slow metabolizer so lower doses tend to work for me.).

I think the Zoloft + Verapamil blunt my emotions too much. At least, though, I can take the verapamil and feel the emotion-blunting effect wear off after about 5 hours. So it could be useful for work and situations where emotions aren't that important.
I could see myself weaning off the Zoloft and just taking Verapamil now that I see it's mood-stabilizing effect.
But I went to therapy today, and I was tremendously matter-of-fact about everything. Kind of felt blank. I enjoy intensity. (In a healthy, non-manic, non-depressive, HUMAN sort of way, y'know?)
Do you feel 'balanced' or do you feel emotionless?
