Title: Sansert?
Post by maxmad on Mar 17^th, 2002, 11:31am

Have any of you folks tried sansert?Any Pro's or Cons?
I'm curently taking 8 Mg, seem to get relief for a few days, then it's back with a venegence. But as i'm sure you all know it is difficult to tell if a drug is working or the cycle is just doing its thing. Into my fourth month now and getting wacko.
Any info would be appriciated.
Thanks
maxmad

Took Sansert many years ago for several years. Now that I think back on it , I am sure it was a complete waste of time and money. Don't think it ever helped me but what did I know befor this web site. Would never go through the agony again thinking it would help. Don't waste your time when there are many newer drugs around that can help.

I took it during a cycle and after 5 days cycle stopped. Was it because of sansert or not hard to tell. Continued taking 2months with no more cycles but started looking bad dark eyes etc. Still would have been glad to look like junkie and no H.A. but started having bad irrigular heartbeat. Stopped taking started cycle 3 days later. Better meds out there I Think.

I have used it for some 6 weeks (3mg daily), but I really hated the side effects, I just didn't feel like myself anymore. It worked though. I'm taking verapamil now, with same success but far less side effects. Also important notice: you can use sansert for no more than 6 month, after that you have to wait at least a month before taking it again. And DO NOT combine with imitrex!!! My ex-neuro prescribed both at the same time. Still glad I didn't take the imitrex!

Thought it was just me Sansert seemed to work for awhile but now am breaking through. I hate night time and sleep what is that? Am just about fed up with doctors that don't understand, wish just one of them had one cluster bet they would sing another tune. I am female and thats worst of all cause they think only you guys get them.
