After failed attempts over the last 8 months to abort this cycle, my Neuro has now prescribed Neuroton. Has anyone tried this drug? Was it successful. I need some feedback before I move forward. I'm waiting to start the p. cubensis therapy as soon as I have the fungi. I'll keep everyone posted. As usual, thanks for being there!

Neuroton is a vitamin B-complex. My neuro tried on me vitamin B-2 (sometimes good against migraine) in high dose as last weapon. The only effect: my piddle turned dark yellow.
Good lack to the shroom.

Do you mean Neurontin (by Pfizer, generic name: gabapentin)?
This is an anti-seizure med, of limited use to clusterheads.
Side effects are said to be mild, but a friend of mine tried it, and said the side effects sucked. Made him mean and nasty (he's one of those big gentle fellas) and did nothing for the headaches.
YMMV.

I tried Neurontin for a month and couldn't stay on. It made me seriously stupid. For the first two weeks I had a constant two martini buzz. After that I just felt numb. I couldn't do my job and almost wrecked my car pulling out in front of someone. That was my experience.
I know some people have had success. I wish you the same. If you do try it, please be careful driving and such until you know how the drug affects you.

When I was chronic, I took it for a long time. I would get some let up in the kip levels, but I still got hit 4 times a day or more. I kept having to increase it, too. My all time high was 2400 mgs a day. Mostly, I used 1800 mgs a day. I was sluggish and kind of out of it. You'll have to detox from it in order to use clusterbuster treatments... it may interfere.

Jim,
I've taken Neurontin (gabapentin) for 18 months and only recently stopped the end of July when my last high cycle ended. It worked in the sense that the attacks were less painful and less frequent, but it didn't stop them completely. That was good in my book, and I keep a full Rx handy for high cycle times.
I titrated up from 600 mg. TID to 1800 mg. TID over a 5 day period per my neurologist's directions at NIH, Bethesda MD.
Other than a reduction in the frequency and intensity of my cluster headache attacks, the only side effects I had consisted of a three-martini "buzz" at 900 mg. TID, and puffy feet at 1200 mg. TID. I found both side effects to be a very tolerable trade off.
I've been using O2 at a high flow rate since the end of July so am not taking any other meds at this time... The higher flow rate slams the beast dead in his tracks in 5-7 minutes if I catch it early.
Take care,
V/R, Batch

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, not any before nor after, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. Man has one virginity to lose in fighters, and if it is a lovely airplane he loses it to, there is where his heart will forever be.
