YES YES YES.. I always experience migraine toward the end of my cluster period. It's interesting that the migraine pain is in the opposite side from my cluster headaches. The most effective treatment I've found is fioracet. Many practitioners have been hesitant to prescribe the med upon request because it contains a small amount of barbiturate. It's usually only taken two two-tablet doses to break the migraine. Imitrex has never worked on these headaches.
Thank you for posting this question--
Stay Well,
