When it comes to my head i'm not going to rely on the opinion of a sales clerk. True, some meds that work for migraines do work for clusters, and vice versa. The thing is a sales clerk, unless you ask and know differently, are lumping clusters and migraines all in the same category, and selling you a product that hasn't even been proven to work on migraines.
Yes, i'm assuming all of this about the sales clerk because of past experience. I'm assuming they don't have a medical degree. I'm assuming they don't have cluster headaches. I'm also assuming they are trying to make a sell. Here on this site we've had many people coming here to sell their fever few and claiming it works on clusters, when they dont' even know what cluster headaches are.
Hey you never know, maybe the sales clerk does have a medical degree and is moonlighting.
