Greetings, Most of you know that I have been chronic for the past 15 mos. and have done the medication roullette. I did have some unfortunate cardiac problems (emergencies) related to drug combos. The great news is that I was cleared for a re-trial of Ritalin. I also take a calcium channel blocker (Cardizem CD...also prevents coronary spasm), and Neurontin. Anyway, since restarting the Ritalin, I have only had 1 cluster in 3 days. I even aborted that one in 20 min with oxygen and Imitrex. My husband and I are CONVINCED that Ritalin will be my lifesaver. So hang in there and discuss the possibility of Ritalin with your MD. I see a light at the end of a long tunnel! Its wonderful. Thanks for all your support...DJ, this is GREAT!!!
