I was at the doctor today and he gave me a sample of AXERT (Almotriptan malate) tablets 12.5 mg, 5-ht has anybody used this before? He says it is fairly new.

Never heard of it. Just wondering if it will work fast enough since it's a pill form. Please keep us posted on the results.

Religion and sex are powerplays. Manipulate the people for the money they pay. Selling skin, selling God, the numbers look the same on their credit cards. Triptans cause rebounds. Learn it, believe it, live it. I use triptans as the absolute LAST RESORT when treating my CH.

Hi Why_Me, that wouldn't be Dr. Robinson that's prescribing that for you, would it? A lot of our BC'ers are patients of his and he's great. I see you're in Duncan, so I just wondered.
don't forget to check out the Canadian cluster website too, ok? www.clusterheadaches.ca. We've got a message board over there too and lots of sufferers in your area. Let us know how the Axert goes!

Hi Margi, Dr. Froese is the guy, Lake Cowichan. I have been picking my sleep patterns just perfectly so I am missing the big ha, just lots of 15 - 30 minute mini ones almost over the cycle thank god, more like a zombie than a Clusterhead, but if I have to use the Axert I will let you all know. Dr. also said he was going to hold on to some brand new samples and experiment, so I will let you all know on that front as well.
Lots of PF days for all I hope.

My wife uses Axert for her monthly migraines, works well for them. I never tried it for ch. Prefer the quick dissolving maxalt, that works well for me, and works quick. And the ever present 02 bottle

Hey Redneck, do you pay for maxalt or do you have insurance, and if you do pay for it, is it expensive?
