(new to this site)
My husband is a CH sufferer - a late-starter, coming in his late 40s and still going strong with really long on cycles in his mid-50s. Neurologist has had him on a combo of verapamil/nortriptyline for prevention for a several years now. It works (mostly) but makes the tapering in/out process worse (seeming to cause CH).
Neither of us want him to use these meds, but it's hard for him to resist.

I didn't see any posts with these Rx in the title - anyone on these? Anyone had any luck trying alternative therapies?

Any info appreciated!
Lisa
