I'm 43 and I cycle about every 18 months to 3 years. Cycles last 2 to 3 months, taper up then back down. Done all the drugs, used O2 with success, have good relationship with doc/he gives me whatever I want....What I'm looking for is a plan of attack. Is there someone out there similar to me with something written out....Here is what I basically do: use O2 and over the counter pain relievers in the beginning, use O2  and triptipans when they get worse, 9 weeks in I cry and start to look to new drugs or drugs I have not used before. I feel as though I'm in the beginning stages of a cycle right now.

Get on some prophylactics now before it gets bad, and maybe save yourself from the nasties. 

I'm on:

Verapamil and topomax both you need to slowly get on dose.

Peace,
Boski
