Yes, I have been treated for my combination migraine/cluster headaches with many products over the years. It does appear that the calcium channel blockers like Verapamil dose aid in the reduction of these painful events. Oh, did you know Verapamil and it's class of drugs were developed to treat hypertension?

no, but as a nurse, I have heard of that type of situation before. In some people, medications works different (faster, slower, longer, shorter) At least it works for you

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

I believe Advil is best, it takes about 15 minutes to work. I would take two if you are an adult.

I take motrin for my headaches - 800 mg. work the best for me. It seems to work within a 1/2 hour. Try brushing your hair or rubbing your head to relieve some tension.

Nothing works for me except aspirin (no idea why).

And powdered aspirin works the fastest and best for me. (Stan-back powders, Goody's, BC).

I'd like to try Head-on though…curious if that actually works.

Goody's works in about 15 minutes and the headache is gone. Same with the other powdered aspirin brands. The all have some caffeine in them, which constricts the blood vessels in your head (which is sometimes a cause).
