Chris I've been using cafergot for years and haven't had any trouble with it. I use oxygen to abort, but I'm one of the small percentage, no matter what I do, CH comes back within 10-20 minutes of shutting off the 02.

Now I pop an oral cafergot when I fire off the 02. 02 beats it down in less then 10 minutes, cafergot will buy me up to 12 hours pain free time.

I use lithium as my prevent when on cycle and haven't had any difficulties with it interacting with the cafergot.
