Good luck finding something that works. Cluster headaches are awful.

Yeah, they are
The regular "headache" meds usually don't work on clusters - even though I don't want to try the oxygen (only "old and sick people" use oxygen lol) - the numbers say that it usually ends the headache within 7 minutes...and the other med he prescribed supposedly can even prevent the ones that come about 1 1/2 hours after you fall asleep. Glad the ibuprofin is working for you.
