Billy,

It’s hard to say, are you chronic or episodic? I tried them with good results (as a chronic) and got so so results for about two weeks. After that it dropped off. I was dosing with 40 seeds every 3 days at the end and just could not do more than that. They seem to work better for the episodic for kicking out of cycle. The best results that I can remember, is to start them 2-3 weeks before your cycle starts. I hope this is helpful, and there are many more here that have tried them so just wait and I’m sure they will chime in also…

Oh yeah this year I have been taking 20 seeds per month as a preventative and then my cycle started anyway. The seed were 16 months old. So the last time I redosed, I used a new batch of seeds as I explained above.

   Realistically guys do "yall" think there will be a cure or a sure fire preventive in the near future ?

Thanks

I have trouble grasping the logic behind "less may be better", unless seeds give bad side effects.

I take seeds as a preventative (like Verapamil).  If seeds reduce the frequency and intensity of CH, great.  Even better if they actually break the cycle (has happened to many episodics).  

As long as you still get hit, my vote is also to hit it again every 5-7 days until the beast is back in its cage.

I would like to hear more about your opinion on this. I read what you posted, but I'd like to hear more.

I got some good info on the seeds and the hallucinogens in general:

it's looking like dosage is not as important as frequency of dosing....

if you are trying to break a cycle vs. prevent a cycle, you may need to redose 3, 4, even 5 times.....

they aren't sure yet about the effectiveness of seeds vs. mushrooms vs. LSD, mainly because all evidence at this point is anecdotal and there's no way to know what dosage everyone's been taking...

don't forget- within 20 mins. of taking any of the indole-ring hallucinogens the "doors" to the receptors are shut, and it takes 3-5 days for them to reset- so it won't do anything to take more stuff until you wait at least that long.  Maybe it's taking your brain longer than that to reset?

don't give up hope- the docs who are studying this have gotten approval from the FDA to do a clinical trial on clusterheads; now they are just trying to raise the money to do it.  And don't forget, LSD was first synthesized in the search for a cure for these headaches; the KNOW it works!!

I'm living in the Austin area- you know, the spot where the allergies are the worst in the world!!!    Yeah, I'd love to get in on the clinical trials- you know, get the PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE stuff!!!! 

so far, tho, I've noticed that I'm severely depressed for a day or two after the seeds vs. the shrooms, but that might just be a coincidence.  But it's so much easier to get the seeds.... *sigh*
