Hi Vegas, No prison experience, however there should be some pretty good medical care available to you.
 
Repetitive excersize may be an acceptable abortive for you like pushups (on the floor or even against the wall) at the first hint of an attack. If you have no meds that work this is a good alternative when confined.
 
Raises the endorphin levels or something. Helps me tremendously at times.
 
I understand crime and punishment but CH is above and beyond when stuck in a cell.
 
Maybe someone will post the link on cluster meds and you can take it to the infirmary.

Don't know if this will help but here is what I have found.
 
Prescribed medications are not (for obvious reasons) given within "over the wire" so to speak. In those instances, other milder meds are given such as regular OTC tylenol. While on house detetion one is still considered within those confines the need to be so guarded due to access by other prisoners is not as great - however, urine tests are required and you must be certain that only the prescribed medication is going to be positive. Also, you need to get your agent the information (copies of the prescription and the doctor's explanation as to why this medication is imperative to you health, healing and wellbeing) you always want to keep good communication with you agent on anything so that the "priveledge" to be serving the remainder of a sentence at home is not violated. If the rule states that you can take medications as prescribed by your physician and you have the DOC to support your needs - then you can take that medication - but you need to make sure your agent is on board with the need first.  
 
The Supreme Court has, in the past, ruled that the government must provide medical care for those whom it punishes by incarceration. "Deliberate indifference" by prison personnel to an inmate's serious illness or injury constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. And whether indifference consists of prison doctors in their response to prisoners' needs or guards in denying or delaying access to treatment or interfering with prescribed treatment, the inmates' constitutional rights are violated. Where the mistreatment is inadvertent or the result of negligence
 
Keeping your agent in the loop as to what your medical needs are is the priority here so that they do not violate you for a dirty urine - even though it is due to prescribed medications. If you continue to have difficulty after getting your DOC to verify the need you can contact the American Civil Liberties Union and they will assist you. Here is the link for the Wisconsin ACLU http://www.aclu-wi.org/
 
AGAIN, the number one thing here is to make sure your agent - is in the loop as to the medical necessity.

One method that MIGHT work, is hyperventilating.  Hyperventilate to the point of feeling dizzy, or light headed, and where even your fingers tingle.  This may work for some.  What it does, is give the body an excess of oxygen, right from the ambient air, which we all know works.
 
It sure doesn't hurt to try it.

Is there access to water whenever you want some (sink in the cell)?  Ice water helps many of of trememdously, but even with no ice, water still helps.  Read the water X 3 tip on the left of this page.
 
Anything cold that you can place on your head or back of your neck?  Cold water on a wash cloth?  
 
I don't know much about what's available to incarcerated people, but I'll keep thinking.
 
Good luck

Sounds like a bad thing, doing time with CH.
 
I just watched something with regard to a high percentage of inmates having Hep C, but it takes a year+ to get a simple test.

Flash once wrote that it's easier to get psilocybin in prison than it is to get it on the street.

You might, MIGHT, get fiorinol on your med sheet as a PRN.
 
Your best bet is getting an effective preventative (verapamil) on a sceduled moring dispense.

Try indomethacin 50mg 3x/day, lithium 900mg 300mg 3x/day, verapamil as high as 960mg go up slowly, topamax 200mg (go up by 25mg every 2 weeks), neurontin, etc.  Non of these drugs should effect a drug screen and cause a possitive result.  I have tried butalbatol, codiene, percacet, vicodin, oxycodone, etc non of these have helped and are not worth taking and dealing with the positive result they will cause.
Good luck.
