While most of these meds have been mentioned on the board, and some have worked some of the time for some of the people (you have to wade through the posts a little, or use the search engine) it seems that your doctor is throwing meds at you. I would be cautious about overdoing, too much in combination. Van's point about Zomig is well taken. But at least you are seeing a doctor who is listening to you, although his response doesnt make me feel too confident. He didnt say, oh theres no such thing as clusters. Or accuse you of seeking pain meds.
Maybe printing out the medical info for him from this site and trying some interrupt therapy, like Prednisone with Verapamil. And watch out for the Verapamil, do you know how constipated it can make you? Ouch!
Good luck, hang in there.
