After taking Calicard 240mg SR tablets for a month I can say that they work well:
The first week I still got headaches but they were at unusual times and lower pain threshold, so I guess that was just the medication starting to work.
The second week I was totally drained most of the time but almost completely pain free.
The last two weeks I felt completely fine and was completely pain free!

Last weekend I had two headaches – a bad one at 3:00am on Saturday morning that I aborted in an Imigran injection and a long, dull, debilitating but not excruciating one on Sunday morning that I let run its course without any intervention.
Still taking the Calcicard every night, hopefully it is starting to show results.

I successfully aborted a headache with an Imigran injection two mornings ago.
Currently I am taking a Calicard (240mg) tablet with dinner as a preventative and will rely on Imigran for pain relief.

Last month I went to a Swedish Neurologist for another opinion and spent an hour talking to him about my headaches.
He suggested I try Imigran (Sumatriptan) injections to abort a headache and also to continue with my course of Vasomil as a prophylactic.
I had a few lesser headaches last week and bad one on Sunday on which I used the Imigran injection and made a complete recovery within 10 – 15 minutes!

I’ve started a course of Verapmil tablets – 3 * Vasomil tablets per day, with meals.

I went to the doc on Friday (21 Jan) and got another Depo Medrol/Lignocaine injection in my head but that didn’t help – on Sunday night (23 Jan) I had another bad headache.

this time fitting more to the usual pattern – started at 8:30 in the morning but I was functional by 11:00. Time to go back to the neurologist.
