I'm brand new too this forum! An older medicine Cafergot worked excellent and even acted as an akoloid. It is very hard too find even though it does state it's available on line. In fact I asked my doctor for a prescription a couple years ago and the pharmacy ended up compounding it for me. It is basically Ergotamine and caffeine. Sounds simple but it worked really well . I am having episodes now with these clusters again and the medicine is working. Hope this helps!!!

I was on Migral for decades then Cafergot, both no longer available here down under, and Mike, if you caught it in time it would abort in about 5mins, if not, then it took about 20mins to kick in.

Cheers Hoppy

I had some reasonable success with ergotomines, variously as a preventive or an abortive, until a neurologist thought it might be fun to overdose me x3.

Not recommended, and I've taken nothing for CH since.

I used cafergot tablets, sublingual ergotamine and ergotamine inhaler.  Non really did much good.  Just cold fingers and toes from the reduced blood circulation.
