Bob,
Don't you get rebound CH after a few weeks of taking Cafergot? Anything with caffeine in it works great for me for a few weeks, and then I need larger and larger doses, until swimming in the stuff won't help me, and it's a 10+ for 12 to 14 hours of complete misery. Water's working well for me now . . . 6 days and counting free of a CH . . . my previous record since 17 Apr 99 was 117 hours . . . but I didn't know about OUCH and water before that. I haven't taken Cafergot for years though. Maybe it's improved since I took it a couple of decades ago (been working on these CH for 31 years).
Whatever turns it off,
Steve W.
