Welcome aboard but sorry you had reason. This is the place though. We actually know what you're talking about.

    Here is some basic information for those new to the
wonderful world of Clusters:

     Abortivs:
        1.Imitrex ;
           a triptan, the most effective in its class-

       2.100% Oxygen;
           http://www.maplefallswebdesign.com/misc/oxygen/oxygen.htm
     Preventatives:
        1.Verapamil; at higher than usual doses is the number one preventative med
        http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/sumitr.htm
        2.Lithium;combined with Verapamil  
           http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/lithium.htm
       3.Prednisone;
       Used as a short term abortive(two-three weeks for relief while a preventative
       can start working)
       http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic3/prednistab.htm
       (If you have tried theese and they didn't help,don't panic there are still options-
