Lamictal
Feb 12^th, 2012 at 3:22pm

Has anyone had any success with Lamictal? I have been on verapamil 120 mg for 2 years with great success until a couple weeks ago, and so I went back to see my neurologist, and instead of increasing the dose she adds Lamictal because of the whole constipation thing with verapamil. If you ask me, I would rather deal with constipation than a cluster headache any day. Anyway, the neurologist I was seeing retired back in September, and I really liked him. The new one is telling me oxygen is usually not covered by insurance unless it is a lung problem, and so she is putting me back on Fioricet again, which I have had great success with in the past until it stopped working, started working again and then stopped again, but I am willing to give it another try because I become desperate for anything when these things act up. I am just feeling that whole hopeless feeling right now. Undecided

I haven't had a serious CH hit since 1991 but the Lamictal began several years later. I've mentioned this here before, I'm sure. It's worth a try though. The generic is Lamotrigine. Charlie
