cluster headaches are finally gone!

ive had cluster headaces since i was 19, im now 27. ive seen three diffrent doctors and ive finally struck gold!
i saw the best neuro at the cleveland clinic three months ago and here is what he gave me:
verapamil 80 mg
magensium 500mg (gnc)
melatonin 3mg (gnc)
i started with Verap 2x day for one week, then 2 veraps in the morning and 2 after dinner for one week and then 3 in the morning and 3 at dinner for the last two months.
the mag is take 2x a day and mel 2 at night
he gave me zomig to take if i got a ch. ive had probably four ch's and the zomig is by far worked the best. i use to get them 4xweek so ive made great progress.
i just saw the doc last week and he told me when i go three weeks without a ch which he thought was very soon to cut back on verapamil to 4 insted of six and to eventually cut them out completely.
he assured me that they would be gone for good within a short period of time so im very much looking forward to that!
hope this helps someone out there

Thanks for the info and welcome to the board. Glad to hear you found a good neurologist and the meds are working. Stick around and let us know how you're doing and what happens in 3 weeks when you start to cut back on the dose.

Doesn't sound like an unrealistic combination. A lot of folks have success with those components. Good to hear you found a combination that works!

Coolness.
That does seem to be one of the more effective treatment combo's. And the great part is 2/3 of it is otc.
