In addition to the regular medications for an attempt to control CH, I take paxil for depression. For me, if I had to choose only one medication and couldn't take any others, I would keep the Paxil. After all, the headaches can't kill you, but the depression can! Though I am not a Bible Thumper, I did read the book of Job. Apparantly the Why Me syndrome has been around for a long time. Moral of the story, bad things happen good people. God is not punishing you, things just happen. I am 40 and have had them since 19, chronic now. I know this will sound wierd but you will become stronger if you keep fighting them. There are actually some benefits, if you know how to look for them. Write me on email if you wish. I can talk to you about how I handle it.
