Just got back from an O2 run. I spoke to Lee's neuro for this morning. He said to increase the verapamil again--said we can go to 640. He feels that the serzone Lee has started taking may have something to do with the headaches returning with such regularity. He may have to take something else for depression. Also, the doc mentioned two other meds he would have Lee try if the increased verapamil was not effective--depakote or neurotin (sp?). He also mentioned lithium, but he's a little hesitant because of side effects. I am grateful we have a knowledgable and empathetic doctor to deal with. This is taking such a toll on Lee--peeps with clusters are most deserving of being called survivors. Keep hanging in everyone! Joy
