I have had cluster migraines for 20 years... and I just recently found a way to stop them, or at least dull them. I have taken everything from Excedrin to Percocet, Vicodin, and Lortab. The best "drug" that I've found is an Imitrex injection, 6mg... and it works in minutes, but it always makes me vomit. Plus, if your insurance doesn't cover it, they are over $100 per shot... I would use 4-5 every week.
But, after reading about getting Botox for migraines, I decided to give it a try. On my next series of cluster migraines, I went to Alysha's doctor, who gave me some Botox injections in my forehead near my migraine trigger points. Within a couple of days my headaches stopped completely. Having these for years, I knew the routine... they should have hung around for 6-8 weeks... but they disappeared in a couple of days. 6 months later when I got my next cluster, I went and had Botox again... same result, they were knocked out in a couple of days.
Soooo.... if your headaches are truly migraines, and they bother you that much, give Botox a try and see. It's not that expensive (I pay about $250 each time), and it knocked them out completely for me. Just ask your doc if he's treated migraines with Botox, so he knows where to inject you.
