I am currently taking Ritalin for cluster. I take the ritalin SR (time release) It hasn't stopped the cluster, but I am down to one headache a day instead of 6 to 8. And that one comes at 5am. I just take another Ritalin and within the half hour I am set.
It does make me a little jittery. Like I had 6 cups of coffee. But I do get my house clean fast. I am a little restless at night but I will take that over the headache any day.
Good luck. Hope it works for you. E-mail me if you have any questions.
