@kgking101 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sorry to hear your cluster headaches are such that you have never experienced such agony in your life. Having it be so bad you wish you would pass out is intense pain.

I'm hoping others who've talked about cluster headaches here such as @mnvo96 @jennieb @robertklauscher @slefman @taterjoy @joeratliff @sonofpicard @chipshot will chime in with any help or advice for controlling the pain from cluster headaches.

kgking101, have you encountered anything that brings you relief, even temporarily?

@lisalucier I have tried everything for the last 50 years and right now I am taking 480 mg of verapamil and they have slowed down to a couple a week instead of twice a day. Sumatrpin injections are good but are unavailable where I live. They worked wonders for me years ago. I hope this helps.
