mit12 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi I am new to this form. I suffer from Migraines and Cluster headaches. I guess i am lucky that my cluster headaches only happen once a day for no more than 3 days but they last for 3 to 5 hours. Currently the only medication I am on to stop attacks is Diltiazem 120mg twice a day. I tried Mushroomes at low doces with no extended relief other than they stopped the headache. Does being on Diltiazem cause the mushrooms to be infective? Or do I need to take a larger dose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHurtsMyHead Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Mit12, Looks like that's a calcium channel blocker. (I'm definitely no expert) - But I think generally the calcium channel blockers are ok, and don't block the m, but that's not set in stone. I think a few have reported m didn't help their bust when taking verapamil (also a calcium channel blocker), but mostly people report it's ok. What was your dose of m? I think many have reported there's a sweet spot just over the threshold of effects (called interestingly a threshold dose ). I'm curious if your m was too low, or you took too often or not often enough. (need 5 days between doses to squash the beast). J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit12 Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 I did them 3 days in a row. Next time I will up the dose and spread them out by 5 days. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
