I'm not currently in a cluster cycle, but if they come as they have in the past, that may end in 6 to 8 weeks. I wasn't totally comfortable with the neurologist I used last year. While he did write out plenty of imitrex prescriptions, he didn't seem interested in trying anything new to break the cycle. He kept insisting I stick with depakote even after weeks with no relief. I ended up getting verapamil from my GP, who declined the offer of taking over my treatment,even though he disagrred with the neuro.I'm looking for some key questions, to ask a prospective neurologist, before signing on for cluster treatment. A list of key questions would be a great tool for any of us seeking treatment for this strange condition.
