"This drug is great for cluster headaches. I have spoken with over 150 cluster headache sufferers. I took one tablet each night for the first week, and it has ended the cycle of headaches. The first night after taking one, you will still have a headache, but it will last about one half hour or so. On the second night, according to the people I have spoken with, 145 out of the 150 had the cycle of headaches ended. The remaining 5 on the 3rd and 4th day. Keep in mind you must take this medicine for up to 2 months to make sure the cycle is contained. The only way to know is to judge how you feel. Your doctor cannot do this for you. I have been having these headaches for 18 years. PLEASE TRY."
