LOL, you're killing me! Trex causes me to ramp down more so over a 2-3 minute span. I get the insta-off when I ride out an attack.

My worst ever was when I was woke up at 6 AM went to the ER at 7 and was home by about 8:30. They gave me a hypo and something else to work with it. This calmed me down enough to sit in a chair. The headache didn't go away until about 3 PM. I'm not sure what happened there but I suspect the demerol just gave me a killer rebound without a gap between the actual cluster and the rebound. Don't know for sure.
In my case when the ha goes away it is just like a light switch all of a sudden it's gone and it's like I don't realize it at first. After that there is this drained tired hangover type feeling.
Normally if I don't have any meds it's about 3 hours.

About 3 hours. I rode out as best i could at home then went to hospital. They gave me all sorts of stuff to try and stop it which resulted in some sort of retching disorder (i literally could not stop myself from retching - dry heaves?)...anyway then they bestowed a suppository which stopped the retching.........i was a slab of meat by then. Later, i went home, took a shower, got dressed and went to a wedding.
Looking back, i recall being on an assortment of meds and can't help but wonder if that contributed to the hideous turn my clusters took that day.

My worst was about ten years ago. Remember it like it was yesterday. I had about five kip 10's one right after another. Each would last about an hour or so with a break of about ten minutes between. Oddly enough, what broke it was my wife putting a cold wash cloth on my face, then it was gone. Went to a specialist the next day and got prednisone and Imitrex.

ER visit on Tuesday - Kip 8 - 5 hours on the button - ended as if someone had just thrown a switch - I think the cycle has ended for now. I have had one other time like this one. I think it is only when I am off of my Verapamil. That seems to contribute to the strength of intensity - lack of Verapmil that is. My choppy sentences are due to Topamax.

Longest hit....6hrs 15 min. Started at 1320 on New Years Day.
I have not looked at my journal since Feb.....Like a bad dream.......to even read all I recorded.
Forgive the short plug here, but C.H.A.T.S. will provide answers to this question and many more. I think all of us would be amazed to see such stats as the longest hit, what meds were used by the population, what aborts the quickest, what prevents 'may' be working better than others [on average], and on and on.
Ok, so the plug was not short...... 
If you have not seen it...find C.H.A.T.S. presentation at http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=general;acti on=display;num=1090436528

Dude,
Im curious, did you feel "The Pain Drain" as I call it?
Your at a Kip 10 and within 20 seconds its gone.....You can feel the pain just drain out of your head like a river flowing, oh man I will never forget that feeling. 14 yrs with no meds and that feeling was better than any sex ive ever had.

Great description man, I know EXACTLY what you're saying when those med free hits end. I've always tried to descibe that feeling people and like everthing else with this shit they don't get it. That is THE best feeling ever when that mofo "drains" away. And I agree, it feels better than any sex out there.
And as for my longest attack I'd say 2+ hours but who knows, looking at the clock isn't usually a priority.

Usually 30 to 60 minutes. The longest, about 3 to 4 hours.
I'm a newly graduate to chronic CH  . It's been going on for 9 months now...non stop.
Actually, I seem to remember one day last spring when I felt better.

5 hrs here...was interuppted by a trip to the emergency room as I could not deal with the pain. It ranked 11 on the scale. I get one or two of these headaches every episode.
Gee whiz...I can hardly wait for them to rear their ugly fucking little heads.
Happy happy, joy joy
