I just ran across a website about ergotomine
and it said that you can get the inhaler in
Canada. It used to be called Ergotomine Medi-haler. 
It was the best stuff to have aroumd for when
those first few episodes hit you had something
in your hand that could stop a cluster in less than
15 minutes full blown or not every single time.
The only draw back was a risk of gangrene of the
extremities if you took it more often than you
were supposed to. I think it was good for like 3
headaches a week. But hey I still got all my fingers
and toes.

Ken:
Sorry, they quit making the ergotamine inhaler in Canada several years back. I agree, they were great, worked well for myslef.
I understood the reason was "limited demand" and short shelf life.
Personally, I use O2 and the occasional ergotamine tablet (cafergot). Not as fast as the inhaler, more ergot, therefore, you have to watch the daily/weekly dosage closely.
Good luck

Several years ago I was told that it was available in Australia but I never attempted to confirm this.
Like Doug and you, I regret it being off the U.S. market--it was a fast fix!

Please be very careful and frugal with that ergotamine.
I took it for about a year. It did lessen the frequency and intensity of the headaches. But now my fingers get totally numb, and turn white whenever the temp drops just a little. Hard to hold a golf club when that happens.
