Verapamil 480mg per day with Sansert 2mg TID for prophylaxis. Oxygen 8-10 lpm plus imitrex nasal or injection (if you can afford it). Prednisone seems to delay the inevitable for me--it lengthens my cluster period. Have been trying Magnesium 500mg twice daily with fish oil capsules 1000mg twice daily.

Had good luck with another tri-cyclic antidepressant; desipramine (Norpramin) it is less sedating than amitriptyline. It no longer works for me as a preventative.

Peace and freedom from pain,

Ron
