My treatments review (so far)

I'm taking verrapamil 480 mg (240 * 2) each day to prevent crisis. On top of that I use oxygen (7l/pm * 10-15 min.) during crisis and Imitrex STATDose pen, the auto-injectable imitrex.
About the verrapamil: I'm really irritable and can't stand myself since last week. I'm wondering if this is just because of pain or if it is verrapamil. I'm not agressive but I can't stand noise and agitation around me and I really feel like I have not that much attention.
About imitrex STATdose : It work great for me althought I feel that the 5 to 7 min. releif is a bit exagerated. For me, it take up to 20 minute to get releif (not a complete releif either).
Oxygen : I'm still not sure about this one. The oxygen reduce pain after ten minute and help me relax but I've experienced some kind of second crisis about an hour later (and that one bite hard). But then again it happened only 2 times on 6. Most of the time the oxygen do well but it leave me with a pressure on the neck.

O2 should be used at least 10lpm with a non-rebreather mask.I use
12-15.Verapamil has never effected me in that way,even at 240x2 twice a day, the only side effect I have ever noticed from it was constipation.
