Title: Verapimil/cafergot combination
Post by Greenstik34 on Mar 20^th, 2008, 3:45pm

Im not sure if anyone has had any success with this, but it seems to work for me. My doctor put me on a Verapimil/cafergot combination which has worked wonders for me. I take the Verapimil once a day, and cafergot when the beast decides to show up. Anyone else seem to have any success with this combination?

Not that combo. If I use only oxygen, the CH comes back within 20 minutes of shutting off the 02. Now when I get hit I pop a cafergot and start the 02. 02 beats it down, the cafergot buys me up to 12 hours. Several people on the board still use cafergot and have success with it. If it's working for you keep it up! Congrats on finding something that helps.
