I can't say I miss the gas, LOL.
I wonder if the Amerge and kudzu don't counteract each other because of the length of time between the doses?
I'm happy to hear that kudzu may still work for me at some point in the future.
I sent the last little bit of my O2 back about 2 weeks after starting kudzu (in hindsight...that was brave), so I couldn't tell you whether it made a difference with the efficacy of the O2. It only works about 75% of the time for me normally.
I'm glad to hear you're getting a break, honey. Keep us posted, OK?
hugs, nani

Hi there,
I thought I'd post about my husbands experience with kudzu, as it stopped working for him too. He started using it in Feb, and had excellent results. He tried tapering off a few times, probably once every six weeks or so since May as the ha's were non-existent while he took the zu, but as soon as he stopped, they came back. In August, when he tried to restart kudzu, it just didn't work. He took it for two weeks, and it didn't make a dent.
As for 02 counteracting kudzu, in the early days (ie., back in Feb when he first started taking it), he used 02 and it worked great for aborting. But after about a week or so, he didn't need to use it at all because the ha's were not happening. We held on to the tank for another while just for insurance, but then like Nani, we too got brave and sent it back.
On the triptan front, he only used imitrex ns a couple of times during that early period in conjunction with kudzu. The trex did its job even with the kudzu.
It has been more than six weeks since he last took kudzu - maybe he should start it again too.

Last night I got hit once and once this morning, about 12 hours apart. O2 didn't work, but since I want to see how effective Kudzu is about keeping the hits at bay, I am not using the very effective (and longer half life) Amerge. I have only used Imitrex NS.
So far so good. The hits are greatly reduced. I mean from 4-5 a day to 2. I'm happy. The weather is not helping, there is a front parked in the area, That I hope will leave soon...
I'm still hopeful and optimistic. Kudzu will work again.

I'm almost back to normal and there is hope for those for whom Kudzu failed. After a month or so break, it seems it is working again.
I get hit now and then, but nothing like a month ago. I just have to make sure I keep up with the schedule.
I even had a couple of beers on Saturday. I didn't get immediately hit, but it is starting to work and I'm happy.

Yes beer is good indeed! You know like I said I'm not 100% yet. Alcohol will still make the Kudzu not work so good, work less better, anyway, I get strong extended shodows, until I get fed up and take a trex NS and I'm done with.
Still take kudzu three times a day the rest of the time, if I forget, I get hit, hard. If I'm not stupid. Then I don't.
Such is life.
Ozzy

We know you aren't stupid Ozzy, but we are all "forgetful" at times. Nature of the Beast in every shape and form.
Glad to hear the improvement is back.
