James,
I thought your initial statement needed clarification "been on cafergot for two days". You aren't taking the cafergot, HA or Not? I guess that is how your comment came across. Cafergot is purely an abortive, given my experience with the drug. Cafergot was my drug of choice with O2 to abort my HA. BUT, I never exceeded the 6 pill limit in 24 hours. For me, if cafergot didn't stop the HA in 30 minutes, it was not going to work and taking any more of the drug was a waste.
Go to the link below, do the free registration and then search cafergot and you can read about the Contraindications/Precautions for this drug.
Good Luck!!
