I say it worked fairly well for me, but I still had the occasional breakthrough headache. Since the, er, alternative treatment, I've not had a single HA. The best part (besides the obvious) is that I'm not putting poisen in to my body each day, or messing with my blood pressure. I was very willing to do so when it was the only answer, but being free from the shackles of daily meds... priceless.

I may be overly optimistic, but this cocktail is a God send for me....after 13 years of suffering and 6 years being chronic (the longest period being PF was 1 week) I have just completed a totally PF 48+ hours. Last Thurs. my "new" neuro. put me on the Verap/Lithium cocktail and told me that I could not have any more cafergot. I came home in mortal fear (having nothing for the pain), but determined to rely on my ice packs & pressure combo. In the past 10 years, I have been on virtually every medication for clusters on the market, including verapamil. Thanks to you guys on this site, when he prescribed the lithium, I convinced him to add the verap. After my first dose, NO monsters and only very light shadows when I first awake in the mornings. I am so thankful for these past 2 days and pray that my luck holds. Wishing that I could share my good fortune with you all. Thanks to all of you who recommended this combination...I would have never believed it if anyone but a fellow member had told me. Thanks again and PFD's to all....
