Hi Gabby...welcome.... "Typical" is...prednisone taper while starting a verapamil preventive. Not at all uncommon for hits to return after the end of pred taper (I had luck once with prednisolone IV then taper (stronger version of pred). BUT...further pred dosing unwise due to potential AWFUL side effects with extended use.... I'd go for an upping of the verapamil dosing.....as 480 mg/dy is the sweet spot for many clusterheads.....and some go even higher... (I used 960-1040/dy when in high cycle). Wise to do an ECG before and during upping of dosage to check for potential heart rhythm anomalies. Check on the version you are taking... SR Verapamil is sustained release...many...not all report immediate release better. Try to time dosages to just prior to expected hit times.... Never heard of onzetra...perhaps others can comment. I had EXCELLENT results from 5 mg Zomig nasal spray...99% effective for breakthrough hits if oxygen and energy drinks did not abort... Best Jon

Yes, you're welding. No medical talk, and no medical tank terminology (welding tanks are designated by cubic feet, not terms like "M" "H" or "E" as medical tanks are). If you feel uncomfortable in case you are asked "Welding what?" you could have a story something like the one I have ready, which is that I know nothing about welding; my brother-in-law is coming into town to help my daughter and her husband, and this is what he told me to get. I haven't had to use that -- usually, they're not going to ask. You'll want a regulator also, of course, but don't buy it from the welding supply store: this one is good, and there might be a Harbor Freight store near you: http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=oxygen+regulator This will fit on any size welding tank. If you have Amazon Prime, you can get this one delivered quick: https://www.amazon.com/BETOOLL-HW9005-Welding-Regulator-Cutting/dp/B01IJI04XW/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1478042088&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=welding+oxygen+regulator&psc=1 For a mask, you can start with this (also Amazon Prime): https://www.amazon.com/Medsource-Adult-Non-Rebreather-Oxygen-Mask/dp/B00BBFQ64M/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1478042243&sr=1-1&keywords=non-rebreather+oxygen+mask You probably also want either a rolling stand, which is good for handling the tanks, or a stationary stand. You can get that at the welding supply place. You might want one larger tank (I think they get kind of unwieldy above 80 cu ft, and you will have to bring it back to get it refilled/replaced) and also a smaller one to have in your car.
