Has anyone heard of Ativan working to relieve CH? Or inducing more pain? I would assume more pain, because its a sleeping medication, and I have heard that sleep induces attacks. Just curious though.

I believe it's REM sleep specifically that triggers attacks. Never heard of this medication though.

Ah yes, thats what it was, you are right BigCoffinHunter, it is REM sleep thank you.
This drug helps insomniacs (my being one) sleep. Now I am not a clusterhead, just a supporter so I was just curious to know if anyone has found relief, or pain

Hello, I was once prescribed ativan to counterattack vertigo brought on by an inner ear condition. It was the pill that dissolves in your mouth. Actually that was just earlier this year. I believe it is initially prescribed for anxiety. Didn't make me sleepy, but it could be a side effect of the drug. Hey, whatever works though right?

Hey Carl,
Yes you are right, Ativan is prescribed for anxeity and seizures. And a common side effect (depending on the dosage) makes you extremely drowzy. However, I am curious to know if Ativan has ever relieved or induced pain in a CHer.
Thank you though Carl, for pointing out my ridiculous mistake, I should have done my homework a little better

I didn't mean to imply that you made a ridiculous mistake. Not at all, no no no...... 
I was just adding my 2 cents worth. When I saw the topic ativan, I immediately had to see what ya had to say about it.
Sorry I can't help with the question about it working to relieve CH, as I've not used it since before this cycle started.
PFDAN to ya BlaineD

Ativan is not a Sleep med. Its a antianxiety med. Like Valium! It can relax you and then help facilitate sleep but that is not what it does.

Ativan can also become addictive, use it with caution.
