For Cluster Headaches "My experience with Cluster Headaches (CH) has been very excruciating to say the least. They say alcohol triggers CH. Alcohol prevents the headaches. When I stop drinking the headaches return. Sometimes the headaches can disappear for a year or more. My father used to get them. So, I believe he passed them down to me. I am 59 years old and I feel like I've been cursed. Sumatripan works wonders. I just pray they would stop plaguing me. So I can stop worrying and live a normal life."

"I always thought when you have a headache it's one or the other, but I saw my neurologist and he said I'm not the first one he has seen with a combination of migraines and tension headaches. And years back, there were two other medications that worked better, called Bellergal which was ergotamine/belladonna/phenobarbital, and the other one that worked the best was midrin. But now they're not made anymore, so my doctor put me on Cafergot. And thank God it works just as well."

Cafergot (caffeine / ergotamine) for Migraine "Normal pain tablets make headaches worse. Cafergot works 99% of time if taken early. Some joint pain after but that may be due to headache. Please keep it on market."

Cafergot (caffeine / ergotamine) "It works great. But the stuff is so expensive that I had to go through either a Canada or India pharmacy so I could then afford it. They really need to bring back an old drug called Sansert."
