"Almost 2 years to the day, I had similar symptoms. About a week and a half of cluster headaches, and there was no relief with the common Excedrin Migraine or even ibuprofen. So my doctor called in a Medrol Dosepak then, and I remember it being very effective. It finally broke up the headaches and they stayed away. About two or three weeks ago, they came back for about a week, so I went and looked at my medical records and I remembered him prescribing the Medrol. I tried it again. After the full course, the headaches are gone. It's tough to tell if they went away on their own or if the Medrol really worked. I would say probably a combination of both. I want to say it interacted with Lexapro, an antidepressant I take, as it made the Lexapro not as effective. My mind felt more up and less at peace, as it does normally on the Lexapro, and I had manic episodes. Whether or not these are directly tied is difficult to say, but I think it's too much of a coincidence to say that it's not."
