Is very successful for a lot of people, but not everyone. It will end up being trial and error for you I believe.
I use Immigran successfully but the trick is to take it as soon as the attack is coming on. I take the tablet form but you will see from reading the board that most people use the injection, it's very much quicker in taking hold.
My doctor ( NHS ) is inexperienced with clusters so I asked him to refer me to a specailist, it's taken 12months !!!! but I am due to see a Neurologist in May, were I shall ask about going on injections and also using OXYGEN which again you will learn from this board can be very effective for some.
Good luck and get your doctor to refer you to a specialist. Keep us informed.
