This Cycle is Pissing me the fuk off

6 weeks into cycle now and I just want to frigging sleep.
I'am taking verapamil-Imitrex and still doing the O2. I cant take Melatonin as suggested because of other health issues but any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I remember the doctors telling me 25 years ago that this would go away as I got older, Man are they full of shit!!!.
I no I'am just whinning again but I feel like 45 going on 90.
Take Care Randal
I no none of you can sleep either 
allmost two days away from sledge hammer to head then I can sleep.

Sounds like you're in the eye of the storm.
Hang in. Keep taking care. Relate this to doc.
I just didn't know what to do and took it the last two cycles but got back on this board, read a lot, paid attention and then got another doc.
You sound like you're doing what you can now, but this CH can be cruel. I didn't know what to do either so I don't have much here except, your words sound familiar.
Pulling for you
All the best

I feel ya  I am going through the same thing, although I can take Melatonin (6 mg). Still no freakin sleep. SO I can't offer any advice, but maybe it would help to know your not alone.

Thank you for the words of encouragement.I no we cant sleep and I I am sure in the hell glad there are people to talk to.It sounds kind of bad saying I'am glad there are people out there suffering also but you no what I mean.If it where not for this web site I would have jumped off my Fucking roof along time ago.The only way to get sleep for me is to go get a demerol shot 150cc,I no this is s strong drug and does not really help the Cluster but my experiance has been as soon as my wife brings me home I will lay down wake up 30 minutes later with the beast, but after that one episode I can have at least 8 hours of restfull sleep.so once in a while it is very temting to just go get the fucking shot and say goodnight. Amen to the Pharmacutical company that can come up with a opiant free medicine that we can all sleep on.Thanks again you are all the best.
see ya at midnight Randal

Randal,
Listen to me (read my type  ) carefully, ask your doc if you can taper up to 600 mgs of Lithium while you are taking your Verapamil.....Im chronic and that cocktail blocks more than 90% of my CH's from ever showing up.
For years Ted (From this board) watched me post about this cocktail and finally tried it....He was in fucking heaven for doing so.
Just a thought, Bro

Sounds pretty schitty. 
The only thing I can suggest is to try sleeping in a recliner. Most of the time I would have at least one less nocturnal attack.
Take care and let us know how it's going.

Update
6 Days on the Lithium cocktail now and Im sleeping at least 5 hours every noght. I only wake up about 1 time now and the severety is half as bad and after some O2 I go right back to sleep. I am still getting around 2 or 3 attacks a day but they are not as bad either. If I can just keep my head up and lose this depression from being in cycle so dam long I'll be fine.
This Website ROCKSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Good to hear Randal. Being able to sleep a little should help your outlook big time.
Keep kicking ass,
