"Had clusters 37 years now. I've tried literally EVERYTHING out there. The only thing that works for immediate relief is Imitrex injections. If the med takes too long (nasal or pill), it simply doesn't work. Gabapentin (sp) regime should be started immediately, they eventually stop the nerve from spasms. Imitrex is now available generic (sumatriptan), however, it's still expensive. I pay $75 per shot, only available as a two-pack."

"These injections are a godsend for clusterers. The only drawback that I experienced was the expense, which forbids me from using them on a regular basis... but the tablets are a good substitute... just take much longer to work. The injections work almost instantly."
