Works for me. I'm episodic, 2x a year spring and fall almost like clockwork. I take 1200 mg lithium a day when on cycle. Blocks 70 to 80%. I use the oxygen and cafergot for the ones that break thru. Have to start oxygen IMMEDIATELY...(like in 2 to 3 minutes) then pop my two cafergot, aborts almost all of the break thru's. The only side affect i have from lithium is lethargy and i sleep a lot more. Wears off in 2 to 3 weeks then you feel almost normal. If you start lithium be patient, it can take up to 2 weeks before you have enough in you to block the headaches. Keeping you in our thoughts, good luck!
