Vonmoxie,
I am never happy to hear of another Clusterhead
Pleased you are in a lull, long may it continue.
I had to increase my dose of Topiramate this time last year. It has cut my Attacks from constant, up to 5 a day, usually an hour long, to 5-8 a week (sometimes 3 a day, sometimes none). The duration has increased but the intensity remains the same.
One of the positive side effects of the Topiramate is it dulls my constant Neuropathic Facial Pain/Paresthesia and TN by about 25%. The rest of the side effects are terrible, but they get washed out amidst all my other meds.
Dave.
