How effective was it? I purchased some for my fiancee and she is trying it now. How long before it started to work for you? Did it completely interrupt the episode or did it reduce the symptoms? My understanding of the study is that the intent of the medication is to completely interrupt the cycle and it HAS worked for some patients in the study. Also, it is a derivative of capsaicin called Civamide. Try looking THAT one up anywhere! So far I have only found a half dozen references to it and NONE in relation to CHs.
Thanks for any info you can provide!
