Glad the topamax works for you.
I just wanted to clarify for the people reading this thread and considering ways to treat their headaches - cluster headaches are *
very* different than migraines, and usually the treatments are very different.
For example, if you have a migraine, you usually want to go into a dark room and get away from the light and lie down. The migraine may last a little while, or it may last hours or even days. There are a number of medications specifically aimed at ending migraines.
If you have a cluster headache, you don't care about the light, and you can't stay still - the last thing you want to do is lie down. And the headache will usually be over in 15-30 minutes, but during those 15-30 minutes, it's the worst pain anyone can possibly imagine. And there are very few treatments.
