Would I recommend it? NO! As you know you need to detox for days before trying to "bust". To introduce the other meds back into your system starts you right back at square one having to detox once again. O2 only to abort between doses.

Many folks have found using Imitrex or other triptans after dosing does seem to interfere with the Clusterbuster method.

But many folks have used taurine energy drinks as an abortive while using clusterbusters as a preventive with good success. Chug at least one can (1000 mg taurine) as quickly as possible at the very first sign of a hit.

And as Redd said, getting hit after dosing is very common - in fact you can pretty much count on it. Stick to O2 and/or taurine, and the hits should fade. Patience is the key.

Rules say you should never mix triptans.

Dose on an empty stomach, and be sure your last meal is no closer than 2 hours prior and free from any fats. Then wait 2 hours after you dose to eat anything. Good luck and keep us posted.

Most hits I have been able to abort, and the few that I haven't had anything to abort with were very mild, slightly painful, but no one around would have known I was getting hit. Very excited. Going to dose again in a day or two.

I'm glad to see you're noticing some difference.

I notice that often, things settle down even more as time goes by. You could dose again (at your 5 day mark) or, you could play it by ear and see how things go over time.

Continued pf wishes to you, nani
