There was a time when I had mass quantities like that which I kept forgetting during my visits.
I had awesome insurance in addition to sharing an office with pain management of a pretty famous doc in migraine research who would kindly give me samples

Not for me, looks pretty damend scary! Yes I know it knocks em out, but it gaurantees that I'll get hit again in two more hours, I firmly believe that if I had kept using it I would have went chronic. The best thing I've ever done as far as managing my CH's was to quit using that stuff.

It refreshing to see someone manup and aplogize for jumping to conclusions.
questions? If trex has the value of asprin in your experience is it wrong or glutunous to stock up?
How many people have multiple bottles of 500 aspirin in their cabinet?
How many people are advised to stock up when out of cycle?
Man up or don't but give the woman a break.

Oh. My. God.
Wow. That's definately a pile!
Anyway, I am along the same lines of "scared" too when I look at that pile. My heart raced just to see it! I am so freaking glad I don't take that stuff anymore.
Anyway, I would keep a reasonable amount, say enough for 2-3 shots a day if he's episodic. If he's chronic, then you'll have to regulate how much he takes each day so as not to go so overboard with it. If you truely do not want to keep it, then I suggest you PM Linda_Howell as to what to do with the rest. She will probably give you some good ideas.

I quit the stuff too. When you're chronic, it's just too scary to get dependent on.

He is chronic, and I am in the process of packing up to get it out of the house, he was beginning to abuse it, and was taken to the er by squad with problems with his heart beating crazy, then we went on to chicago and he was admitted there tuesday, they have him off it entirely now, with 2 attacks since admitted. I will store some at my moms house so we have it available, just not in such massive amounts, some at our home, and the rest just needs to go. The temptation is too great for him, thought I was helping him, and realize now I wasn't at all.
Oxygen has no affect on him, the dr is now trying a different med at the hospital, we will find out what it is and if it helps, I will post the results

I'm going to assume you're talking to me. Not sure what this "value of aspirin" thing is of which you speak, but gluttony is defined as "indulging in something to excess." I stated plainly that making sure one has enough on hand is quite different than taking as much you can get just for the sake of having it.
Quote:| How many people have multiple bottles of 500 aspirin in their cabinet? |
|
Not a comparable argument. People don't buy aspirin assuming that it has a limited shelf life. It's always assumed that it will all be consumed before more is purchased. I suppose there may be a few nutjobs who have cabinets full of aspirin, but I don't know any.
Quote:| How many people are advised to stock up when out of cycle? |
|
Again, we're talking about definitions here. Making sure you have enough is quite different than hoarding.

For many years before a preventative I could annually top that figure all by myself,
never really maintaining a stock, used most all plus other aborts before oxygen.
edited, my mistake, he says boxes, I meant individual n/s Imitrex abortives.
I learned of oxygen and verapamil from this message board.

Headache. 2004 Jul;44(7):713-8.
Subcutaneous sumatriptan induces changes in frequency pattern in cluster headache patients.
Rossi P, Lorenzo GD, Formisano R, Buzzi MG.
Objectives.-To document the relationship between the use of subcutaneous (SQ) sumatriptan (sum) and a change in frequency pattern of cluster headache (CH) in six patients. To discuss the clinical and pathophysiological implications of this observation in the context of available literature. Background.-Treatment with SQ sum may cause an increase in attack frequency of CH but data from literature are scant and controversial. Methods.-Six CH sum-naive patients (three episodic and three chronic according to the International Headache Society (IHS) criteria) are described. Results.-All six patients had very fast relief from pain and accompanying symptoms from the drug but they developed an increase in attack frequency soon after using SQ sum. In all patients, the CH returned to its usual frequency within a few days after SQ sum was withdrawn or replaced with other drugs. Five patients were not taking any prophylactic treatment and SQ sum was the only drug prescribed to treat their headache. Conclusions.-Physicians should recognize the possibility that treatment of CH with SQ sum may be associated with an increased frequency of headache attacks.
************
In Italy we could have such pile of imigran (personally always have at least 30/40 box, but we don't pay for ).
Many doctors begin to wonder.......
Besides myself, many other heavy users have had an increase of attacks. That's why now I'm convinced that O2 is the best and safe way to fight the beast.
I would appreciate if someone can give me some link about this issue (if there are any and the pharmaceutical big bosses let know the danger  ).

we are home from Chicago, with only a few shadows, Dr said DO NOT use the imitrex at all! He prescribed norflex and DHE intramuscular injections to use at home should we need them. Hubby is not really liking the needles for them, and said he will not use it, so I will be the one to give him the shots. The imitrex definitely contributed to rebounds and he said he would still be tempted to use them over the new meds, now I get to box it all up and clear it out of the house so the temptation is gone.

I use DHE intramuscular and there would be no way I could give them to myself.
The needles are big and the shot is painful.
Compared to Imitrex I get 24 hours of relief per shot most times.
I hope the DHE gives him the relief he needs.
