Well. I’ve been taking Calicicard for the last month and it seems to be working for me. The worst side effects happen in the first 10 days when I feel constantly tired and drained. After 10 days I return to normal.
The positive effects of the medication is that they clear up my headaches pretty effectively. I still have the occasional shadow but no full blown headaches! As a result I have 3 doses of Imigran injections sitting waiting around for the next cluster.

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!
