Good evening: I am an episodic clusterhead and have been for 10 years. I just started taking Verpamil - 2 120 milligram tablets everyday and my cycles have been much worse this year. Two weeks in August, one week off, and then a head banging September. This is my 2nd week on Verpamil. is 240 milligrams sufficient as a preventative ? It feels weird as I have not used my Immitrex and my head banging still continues at 9:30 pm right on the clock for about a half hour. It feels much less mild and I have had my Energy Drink Ready and a nice dark room to deal with this . Best Conditions Possible for me so it is livable but a pain in the ass with shadows and light stabbings throughout the day. I am calling my doctor tomorrow to get a referral to a Neurologist so I can get Oxygen and make this shit more tolerable. I feel kinda dizzy on Verpamil and not sure if I am not taking enough, would a third pill, end the headache bullshit ? 360 milligrams . The average doctor sucks with this disease and this year the headbangers have been much worse and I need a preventative and he was able to wrote a script for Verpamil which I am trying. If anyone can let me know if adding a third pill will help and how long to take Verpamil and taper off I would appreciate it. My plan on hitting the lottery and going shrooming in Amsterdam before a cycle is still a work in progress !!!
