Hello all, I am new to all this technology but have been suffering from CH for 15 Years. Thanks to you all I have just discovered Verapamil which has made an enormous difference to my well-being. Traditionally I suffer from clusters that last 2-3 months and come on average every 2 years. Now the questions I need help with.....I am taking 240mg is this enough, compared to others it seems very small. Can I drink alcohol, very important to my social standing! Lastly and most importantly is it advisable to continue for the next 2 months when my cycle finishes or try and see if it has gone at regular intervals. I would greatly appreciate any advice but understand we all seem to be affected and react to treatment in different ways. I will close by saying what a difference finding this site has made to me and hope that all CH sufferers could be so lucky.
Thank you.
