Well been on verapimil about two years. Finally give up on it. The Dr. just put me on Topamx 25 mgs to work up to a 100mgs a day. I take the med. in the morning and so far so good........but at night watch out. Bad Bad attacks. I don't know if the medication is not lasting long enough or what. I have physically felt better since the verap is gone. And check this out not only has my headaches been coming just at night they switched sides. And these headaches here are not your typical clusters neither. No the whole damn head is hurting. But one side feels like a bad shadow. It is really hard to explain. Has anyone had experinces like this in the middle of the night where you could'nt think straight and you head just hurt like hell? And you thought you were the only person in the world who felt this way? What is up with that. And this has been going on for 2 weeks. Any one got any good advice if so please feel free to share!!!!!!!!!

well, maybe get the second 25mgs in you in the afternoon or evening and see if it helps...
or jump on the Kudzu bandwagon.

You should be taking the topmax in the morning and evening that will help cut down your attacks.
Oh yeah I'm new and Im a girl so HI to all and yeah I was just told i have cluster headaches but I don't get it. But I'm on topmax and take two in the am and two in the pm and it does cut down on the attacks not all the way but makes it all most bareable

Was on topamax for years and I found out to take it at night. Regardless of dose - take it all before bedtime. Seemed to work better.
Doc started me on 75mg and upped it as necessary. It did the trick for me for years. I stayed in remission with just a few breakthrus.
Good luck on it.
Hugs BD
