Hi There -
Im new to my cluster diagnosis, but do not feel my neuro is responsive enough in treating this. He put me on verapamill (sp?) at 120 mg/day. So far, this has not done anything.
Im looking for a recommendation from a CH sufferer for a good neuro. I dont care if I have to travel out of state to see him/her. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
Chalise

Go to the OUCH web site and look up one of the Docs in there. That is how I found my neuro and he rocks!

Hi,
120 mg verapamil is a very low dose but dont increase the dose without doc's advise.
It takes about 1 to 2 weeks before it works. It should be taken during the entire cycle up until a few weeks after the last attack.
Ronny.

I've got a good one here in Phoenix... It's only about 5 hrs.  Let me know if you want to make the drive.

I know a good one in Medford Or. The neuro list here had a couple in the bay area. Havn't been to them though.
