Hi everybody,
Just found this site a few days ago and think it's great!
Had clusters for over 20 years,started out chronic and am now
only have them in June and July(mostly).Verapamil has worked
for the last two years until this year,like I wasn't even
taking them.Until I upped the dosage to 480 a day.
Anyway,went to my neuro yesterday and he told me about a drug
about to come out,brand name is "Maxalt", generic name is
"rizatriptan". He said it should be on the shelf within a week
and is going to be a wonder drug for clusters. It's a wafer you
let dissolve in your mouth. "Supposed" to be just as fast as an
injection of Imitrex.
Thought I'd pass it along.
