 cluster sufferer for 32 years now and have tryed everything under the sun. my doctor just prescribed FROVA for this last bout, which is in its third week now.within 5 - 10 minutes headache was gone and last nigkt was the first night I slept thru with no headache, thought I would pass it on it might be worth a try although very expensive, about 21.00 per tablet

I used to get hit 8x a day. The dr thought frova would be great for me because it was so long lasting and I wouldn't be taking imitrix all the time (every 2 hrs). Unfortunatly frova did nothing for me. Amerge is suppose to have a long life also like 12 hours but it only aborted my ha for 2 hrs and then the ch came back. I am so glad that you found something that works for you.

I take Frova 2 days a week....on days when I work 12 hour shifts.
It does hold the beast off for a good long while....however I take it first thing in the morning before going to work. That's because it takes so darn long to work that if I waited to take it during an actual attack, it wouldn't abort that one at all.
The half-life is supposed to be about 26 hours I believe, but for me...I may get 13 hours out of it before it all comes crashing back. 13 hours isn't bad, though!
Half-life of Amerge is 6 hours - that's my other lifeline - but also another one that couldn't abort an attack quickly if you needed it! I just use O2 and ice for a fast acting abortive!!
Best of luck,
Carrie

I take Frova.
I take it at the first sign of a CH. Instead of suffering for an hour 1/2, it stops the CH within 10-20 minutes. Sometimes sooner..
Not everything works for all...
I am currently taking the Kudzu....Haven't had to take the Frova since last January.
Good luck...PF vibes
