on this board, the fairer sex seems to be also afflicted with this condition, (no fair at all, child birth pains and that monthly messy thing, I would raise hell if I were a woman.) Think your doctor should leave the middle ages, having both sons and daughters, realize that women are people too, (but seem to need a lot more love, reassurance, and protection, but that is what daddies are for). My younger sister started CH's the same time I did so must be a family thing, ironically none of the treatment that worked for her did not work for me and vice-versa so pinpointing certain medications must not be the answer.
Sounds like your neuro sold you the drug store, from my brief experience with CH's, would tend only to try one treatment at a time as at first, I was loaded up like you were and didn't know if I was coming or going, many of the meds made my CH's worse. I am very pleased with my O2 concentrated, should take a picture of that baby and post it, (encourage me), for me, but maybe not for you, a drug free solution, (but I pop a pill now and then, what the hell), I am very cautious of the psychotropic type of drugs, if you are not psycho, they can make you that way. Yes, women do get clusters, and its not the least bit fair.
