Hi everyone! 
I'm new to CH, new to this site! But what a lonely site this is!  I'm glad I found it.
I'm episodic and well, middle of stubborn cycle. I'm trying to stop it with verapamil (didn't work) and now I have just maxalt for the pain, which works. Don't know what to do next, but hey, we'll see about that.
I was just wondering... just how medicated we all are...?lol! 
Lots of luck to everyone,
sunrise

Have fun and glad U found something that works for you. I didn't like the Maxalt...took too long to work and made me feel all ooogie.

Welcome aboard Sunrise!
Glad you found us - sorry you have to be here. Definitely read up lots on the links over to the left, they are VERY helpful.
BTW, you mentioned that your verap isn't working this time around. How much of it are you taking and for how long during this cycle have you been taking it? Some us here take upwards of 900mg of verap before it works.
welcome and wishing you pfdans,
maggie

Welcome aboard!
Zazi beat me to it, but many have had good luck with the combination of verapamil and lithium.
How about the number one abortive, oxygen? Read about it on the left. But make sure that you take it properly, as it will not work if you use the nose canula and not enough flow.

I'm sorry to welcome you to the board, but I'm glad you found it! I have learned volumes on this board. As previosly stated, Oxygen works like magic for some (me included!)
Good luck doing battle with the beast.

240mgs of Verapamil and 60mgs Prednisone stopped mine in their tracks. Some people here take upwards of 960mgs of Verapamil to stop theirs.
Good luck, Patrick

Welcome aboard and I just want to say Hi as I haven't much experience with drugs. They didn't have many when mine began.....during the Punic Wars. You'll find the others here can tell you a lot about medication.
Mine have been in remission for a dozen years and the only thing I had was Inderal. It's not effective for many but it helped me most of the time.
Stick around an let us know how you're doing.
Charlie
