Hi, I am an episodal ch sufferer, and am having my first major attack in 18 mths. I have been prescribed imigran (imitrex) nasal spray and Verapimil. The imigran seems quite effective, clearing my ch down to a low (tolerable) ache within around 20mins. The verapimil, however, doesn't seem to be working at all yet. How long should I give it? The side effects also seem to be bad. I have a headache (non-ch) for most of the day and I'm wondering around like a zombie. Is this normal / does it get better? Also, is it ok to have an imigran nasal every 24hours? ('Coz that's what I'm doing). Thanks for your help.
Curzie..
