Hi Roger,
Welcome, sorry the verap has stopped. O₂ is an excellent choice. For more information on Cluster Meds look here. (http://www.clusterheadaches.org/medications.htm) Good Luck.

Roger, there was a report from Simon in England, waaay back, whose Vera had stopped working.
Unlike yours, for you say stopping Vera brings back the clusters, didn't you?

Simon reported reducing the vera dose, and trying it again at a much lower level. For him this manoeuvre helped! You may want to try that road.

Oxygen is a good abortive, and so is Imitrex, if your doctor will give it.

You may also enquire into prednisone, and intop combining Vera with Lithium.

Goodluck
