Hey there bbb, the short answer to your question about hangovers from CH.... ABSOLUTELY. You don't mention what pharma your taking, in my experience, if you are trying to "tough it out" with nothing, experiencing a KIP 8-10 CH, my cognitive processes were shot, I felt awful (hungover) and it would last for hours. My neuro's explanation was... chemicals in the brain are released during CH, this is the hangover. For me imitrex injections worked GREAT, abort the CH and no CH hangover. There's a lot written on this site about triptans. I keep them close, but now, with busting, O2, D3, they don't get used very often.

Double ditto...sometimes it was the only thing that got me through.......

Ditto this!

I've never indulged myself but after being around many, many cluster people I've heard a range of comments....it doesn't help and it doesn't hurt being far and away the most common. I've also heard a few swear it helps....and a few swear it's a trigger. Damifino. I do know when I was a tobacco user even the thought of lighting up during an attack would make me worse....but then the first thing I wanted after the pain was gone was a smoke.
