Title: point a to point b w/ Zomig
Post by clusterkat on Jun 11^th, 2006, 1:06pm

summer greetings my friends,
let me first say that i follow all the struggles,
triumphs and information @ ch.com weekly.
and everyone here has my heartfelt
understanding and sympatatco sympathy.
~blue eyes smile~
i have ran that gammit of rx for relief like everyone here.
and here i go again.....<sigh>
after a breif ch remission (3 months),
the monster returned this jagged searing
eye tearing right sided face pain.
so back to the md i go for:
>100 mg topamax daily.
50 in am, 50 in pm,
*be prepared to loose appitite completely
>2.5 mg zomig ZMT (disolves on tongue)
*cut my attack in 5 minutes :)
>5.mg zomig nasal spray
*no experience with it yet
the reason im trying the zomig triptians
is the lower miligram of triptians, the imatrex didnt
work for me long term cause of the side effects.
but what does?
im running out of options.
we do whatever it takes to get
from point a to point b,
to survive.

hopeful,
zomig newbie @>---

ps
4 years with ch, due to info & this site the past two have been easier, many thanx kat

Kat,

Sorry to hear that you are back in cycle. Continued good luck with the Zomig.

As I was filing my prescription reciepts today I can across my Zomig nasal info you get with the meds. It says it should not be used for cluster headaches. Does your doc or pharmacist know this?

Deb,
the reason zomig nasal spray
isnt recomended for cluster headaches
is it isnt cost effective.
my 6 doses @ 170.00
were 35.00 after insurance.
that could mount up
or not be an option at all for some.
thanx for the concern
