Only medicine that stops my cluster headaches...

Was not prescribed by my doctor. My doctor prescribed me a number of medicines, including Zomig, Elavil and Tramadol, but the only thing that works for me is Syndol. A mixture of codeine, paracetmol, caffeine and muscle relaxers.

Hello group, the only thing that has worked for me is sumatriptan home injections, it is a vasoconstictor and it takes the swelling out of the nerves burns as it hits them but they are wonderful, I have not found a preventative but have just went to a new wonderful neurologist who said that verapamil and lithium are the two drugs that have been prove to treat clusters, I have been to docs that prescribe preventatives that are meant for other migraines and they do not touch a cluster.
Welcome
