I saw the 2/day in your first post. Do you mean that
you have taken 2 jabs a day, everyday, for 6 years????
If yes, give this guy a medal. My husband tells me
that the jolt is so strong that he wonders whether he'll
have a heart attack.
It doesn't surprise me, as I said b4. It's quite
common for whatever worked to stop working. Have you
tried the other high success stuff...o2? verapamil
and/or lithium?
My husband hasn't used any imitrex yet in this cycle.
It aborts the headaches, but he thinks that it gives him
rebounds. He's up to 3-4 a day, Kip 8. He just toughs
it out. Sits in a chair, head down, never makes a
sound. Getting close tho. Takes the kit wherever
he goes...got it handy in the house.
