Cluster Headaches
"I&#039;ve had cluster headaches for about 14 years now, and haven&#039;t found any helpful meds until now. Sumatriptan has been extremely helpful for me this cluster period. I use the tablets so it takes about 30 minutes to feel the effects. I take it as soon as I start to feel tension in the head and neck, with the slight onset of a headache. By the time it starts to work, the attack is almost in full force, but once it kicks in the pain immediately subsides and begins to quickly go away. It saves me at least a good hour of the intense, tortuous pain - which also saves me a lot of the side effects of the attacks such as nausea and fatigue. I&#039;ve found little to no side effects along with the drug, so I&#039;m almost immediately able to function afterwards"
