Where do I get copies of Medical Papers discussing CH medications and limits? I've discussed and tried multliple expermental propholactic options with my provider with varying degrees of success over the past 25 years. Each of my CH cycles seem to be somewhat unique and can be resistent to previously successfuly treatments. I'm open to any avenue to the propholactic meds.... as long as I can manage my pain with abortive meds......what I would like to know is....where is the evidence that imitrex has any long term or rebound impact on the patient? And if there is a rebound impact, who cares? Just manage my pain until the cycle is broken and I then don't have to worry about the rebound!. My CH's started in 1984. Bless the doctor who 1st prescribed imitrex to me in 1995. This is the first year anyone has suggested rebound headaches. Before I just had to stay within my limit of 12 mg injectable per day - I cheated with mini doses of 2-3 mg. There was also a limitation per month or quarter but the neurologist would override the limit..... So my question is.....Where is the documentation that my health is at risk? Are there long term health risks? I've been using Imitrex during my clusters since 1995 with no ill effects. I'm in perfect health (except the CHs) at perfect weight with a perfect heart - so why can't I be allowed to manage my pain until they break my CH cycle?
