For what it's worth, since what works for me might not work for you.
I went from the local ER to the VA Hospital in Tucson with CH and high blood pressure
To make a long story short, my CH's usually last 2or 3 months but this time the cycle was for the very first time in 32 years eliminated by meds.
I took 240 mg. verapamil twice daily, 100 mg. Desipramine daily (night) and 20 mg Prednisone once daily usually in the morning.
During the time the meds were building in my system I had a choice of Imitrix or Cafergot to abort the CH.
I am very fortunate to have the VA Hospital and good caring doctors that understand CH.
I have been pain free for over a week now.
I wish you all could have as good of a responce to meds.
My Daughter still suffers ,our cycles usually come about the same time.
Good luck to all of you, PFDAN.
Paul
