Jeff:
I've been diagnosed a clusterhead and have had several different meds to combat this beast.
I am now on Propanolol 2x/day 80MG in the AM and 40MG at dinnertime.
Dr. wrote the Rx to PREVENT the clusters. I wasnt sure at first, be continued the
therapy. At this point, 2 weeks alter, I am pain free for 6.5 days, Thank God!
Is it the Propanolol? I dont know. All I know is that I have been able to sleep and wake
up not feeling like a truck ran me over
The Dr. also prescribed Imitrex at the same time to kill the pain. I havent had to use 1 yet!
(I keep it close though)
Hope this helps and I also hope we all are pain free!
